Types of Model Objects

The following diagram illustrates the relationships between the types of model objects in Control System Toolbox™, Robust Control Toolbox™, and System Identification Toolbox™ software. Model types that begin withidrequire System Identification Toolbox software. Model types that begin withurequire Robust Control Toolbox software. All other model types are available with Control System Toolbox software.

The diagram illustrates the following two overlapping broad classifications of model object types:

Dynamic System Models vs. Static Models— In general, Dynamic System Models represent systems that have internal dynamics, while Static Models represent static input/output relationships.
Numeric Models vs. Generalized Models— Numeric Models are the basic numeric representation of linear systems with fixed coefficients. Generalized Models represent systems with tunable or uncertain components.
