May 2007

This edition of the newsletter, although general in nature, has a slight bias towards modelling physical systems. The technical article describes how you can model physical systems using Simulink and includes a link to a Simulink model of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (note that the model download is approximately 2MB). The user story describes how Lockheed Martin Space Systems used SimMechanics to model a Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
