ODESCA is a MATLAB tool for the creation and analysis of dynamic systems described by ordinary differential equations. The name ODESCA is an acronym for “Ordinary Differential Equation Systems: Creation and Analysis”.
For MBD (model-based-design) and parameterization, an algebraic model of the plant has a lot of advantages over a simulation model. With algebraic models, a multitude of mathematical approaches can be used for optimization and analysis.
To ensure uniform modeling and a simple way of working with differential equations, the tool ODESCA was created to fill the gap of modeling and analyzing ordinary differential equation systems in MATLAB.
With ODESCA, dynamical systems of the form
xdot = f(x,u)
y = g(x,u)
can be set up in custom components. Components can be connected to each other in a system which provides methods for the analysis of the dynamical behavior. The analysis can be done by linearization at steady states and the implemented MATLAB features for linear systems. Moreover, some features for nonlinear analysis and synthesis are implemented, as well.
