Getting Help
COMSOL Multiphysics® and LiveLink™ for Simulink® have several sources of help and information.
The Introduction to LiveLink™ for Simulink®
To get started with LiveLink™, it is recommended that you read the Introduction to LiveLinkfor Simulink®. It contains detailed examples about how to get you started with the product.
The Application Libraries Window
Study the LiveLink™ for Simulink® Application Library
LiveLink™ for Simulink® includes an Application Library with detailed tutorials.
The following are some models that can help you get started.
Tutorial Models
Battery Pack Discharge Control with Thermal Analysis — This model computes the temperature distribution in a battery pack that is used at a given power. The current is controlled in Simulink to ensure constant power during usage.
Control of an Inverted Pendulum — In this model, you will see how to control the base position of an inverted pendulum to keep its vertical position stable. The control is performed using a PID controller. An external force is applied at a base position depending on the rotation angle of the pendulum to prevent its fall. Moreover, the position of the pendulum is constrained within a range.
1D Lithium-Ion Battery Model Charge Control — This model illustrates the charge/discharge control of a lithium-ion battery in a Simulink simulation.
Magnetic Brake — LiveLink™ for Simulink® Simulation — This tutorial demonstrates how to use a stationary problem solved within a simulation diagram in Simulink.
On/Off Control of a Thermal Actuator — This tutorial illustrates how to implement an on/off control system combined with a multiphysics analysis in COMSOL.
