Abstract:
1. In a computing device, a method of analyzing a model of a physical dynamic system in a modeling environment, the method comprising: providing a model of a dynamic system, where the controller modeled system includes: providing a user interface, where the user interface includes a selectable display of elements from the modeled system that are available for analysis of the digital effects; receiving via the user interface a user selection of at least one selected element in the selectable display of elements; receiving a user specification of stability or performance criteria for the modeled system; providing an analysis tool; programmatically extracting with the analysis tool a linear fractional representation from the modeled system based on the user selection of the at least one selected element, the extracted linear fractional representation being relative to the modeled system; simulating the modeled system and the linear fractional representation one or more times, the one or more simulations respectively producing a result; analyzing programmatically the linear fractional representation based on the result of the one or more simulations, the analyzing identifying a value of the one or more parameters of the selected element, the value causing at least one of the one or more simulations to satisfy the stability or performance criteria; and programmatically determining, based on the analyzing, a minimum hardware requirement for a digital system to execute code generated from the modeled system, the code generated using the identified value of the one or more parameters of the selected element.
