The Student Edition of SIMULINK, in conjunction with the Student Edition of MATLAB, encourages users to build their own models from scratch or manipulate the existing models to create simulations of real-world dynamic systems such as air resistance, gear, slippage, automotive clutch systems, the effects of the monetary supply on the economy, and so on. Users do not need a programming background. SIMULINK provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for building models as block diagrams, using click-and-drag mouse operations. Users define models through SIMULINK's comprehensive block library of sinks, sources, linear and nonlinear components, and connectors. They then simulate the models by using one of the methods from SIMULINK's pull down menu or by entering commands in MATLAB's command window.
