Overview of the DynamicSystems Package

 Calling Sequence DynamicSystems[command](arguments) command(arguments)

Description

 • The DynamicSystems package is a collection of procedures for creating, manipulating, simulating, and plotting linear systems models.
 • Continuous and discrete system objects may be created and defined in several ways, including differential equations, transfer functions, state-space matrices, and zero-pole-gain representations, and may be transformed from one form to another.
 • Input signals such as sine and step waveforms can be created by using the signal generation commands. These can be used to simulate a model using DynamicSystems simulation tools.
 • Standard plotting tools, such as Bode and root-locus plots, are available and can be used to plot both continuous and discrete system objects.
 • The system manipulation tools provide a mechanism for the advanced analysis of systems, including stability, observability, controllability, and sensitivity.
 • System objects may be simulated by using the simulation tools to obtain frequency, impulse, and transient response.
 • The Digits environment variable can be increased to accommodate systems which require greater numerical precision. See Digits for more details on how to change the number of number of digits that Maple uses when handling software floating-point numbers.
 • You can apply many of the commands from the DynamicSystems package in a clickable math way through context-sensitive options available in the Context Panel. For details, see Using the Context Panel with DynamicSystems.
 Note: The symbols used for the continuous time variable, complex frequency variable, discrete frequency variable, discrete time variable, input variable, output variable, and state variable must be unassigned or changed before using the DynamicSystems package. See SystemOptions for more details.
