eing ideal for the computations necessary for control analysis, MATLAB provides the<br />

Simulink environment, allowing the user to easily construct a model of the control<br />

system. Finally, MATLAB provides great flexibility for graphically displaying the<br />

results, using the many pre-existing plotting functions of the MATLAB Control Toolbox.<br />

While these three components make up the basis of CONDUIT, there are several other<br />

smaller components within these three which provide the functionality behind<br />

CONDUIT. These smaller components will be discussed in the following sections, to the<br />

extent of providing a basis for the explanation of <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong>. Furthermore, they will be<br />

explained with respect to the two operating modes of CONDUIT: Setup <strong>Mode</strong>, in which<br />

the CONDUIT problem is created, and Run <strong>Mode</strong>, which is used to optimize the problem<br />

and analyze the results.<br />

1.1.2 Block Diagram (Setup <strong>Mode</strong>)<br />

All simulation is performed in the MATLAB environment. Thus, the model of<br />

the aircraft and the control system itself must be simulated in MATLAB, using its<br />

modeling and simulation capabilities of the MATLAB Simulink environment. Simulink<br />

is a graphical simulation tool that allows the user to build control systems in block<br />

diagram form.<br />
