Who's It For?
  • Educators and students
    who want more efficient, practical teaching and learning
  • Practitioners who are too busy to master the theoretical background of the design procedures and algorithms
  • Industry designers responsible for products with short time-to-market
  • Beginners who want to learn and experiment with system analysis, implementation, and design
  • Advanced users who explore and prototype new design algorithms
10
Features: Easy to use and learn
  • Mouse-driven, interactive drawing tool based on Mathematica's built-in functions and palettes
  • Powerful functions constructed so only a minimal amount of information has to be specified by the user
  • Well-organized palettes for drawing schematics and solving systems with a single click
  • Extensive online documentation including illustrative application examples
11
Features: Powerful modeling and simulation environment
  • Visualization tools for drawing and viewing system models
  • Unique capabilities in mixed symbolic-numeric processing for fast and accurate simulations of discrete-time (digital) and continuous-time (analog) systems
12
Features: Fast and reliable
  • Quickly and effortlessly creates schematics of systems
  • Symbolically solves the system directly from the schematic by generating the equations describing the system and computing the system-response and transfer functions
  • Special function included to plot the frequency response
  • Self-contained and stand-alone document that contains text, graphics, formulas, high-quality schematics, and the symbolic solutions to systems
13
Teams up
with other Mathematica applications
  • Complements Control System Professional with tools for drawing and solving systems described by block diagrams
  • Provides objects such as transfer functions for further analysis with Signals and Systems
  • Has access to all Mathematica capabilities to perform further manipulations on results returned by SchematicSolver
14
Why should I use Mathematica and SchematicSolver?
  • The most powerful built-in functions not available in other software (like MATLAB)
  • Rich programming language: More compact code compared to other environments
  • More efficient programming: faster development of complex applications (shorter time-to-market)
  • Easier to maintain and upgrade packages
15
SIMULINK vs.
SchematicSolver + Mathematica
  • SchematicSolver + Mathematica perform both, symbolic and numeric analysis, SIMULINK is  numeric-only software
  • Mathematica notebook is a standalone and self-contained document that contains text, graphics, formulas, high-quality schematics
16
In Short
  • SchematicSolver is a new Mathematica application that is …
  • Easy to use
  • Targeted at both industry and academia
  • Ready to run (requires no programming)
