ABSTRACT
This chapter briefly describes the various simulation tools such as Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB), Simulink, comprehensive control (CC), and Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW). MATLAB is a program that uses numerical calculations based on linear algebra. Simulink is an extremely useful tool, embedded in MATLAB, which enables the modeling, simulation, and analysis of dynamic systems. LabVIEW is a powerful and flexible software platform for the design and analysis of various applications developed by National Instruments. Its graphical interface makes it ideal for applications' measurement, automation, instrument control, and data analysis. CC is used to analyze systems in state space and/or in the form of transfer functions. It has a rich collection of various commands that provide the user the ability to understand the fundamental concepts of automatic control, study, analyze, and evaluate any system of particular interest.
