Overview

Semiconductor production equipment is increasingly built from high-precision mechatronic systems – mechanical linkages, motors and drives, electronics boards, and tightly integrated control software. But as these systems grow more complex, the traditional development approach begins to break down. Teams face slow and expensive hardware iterations, late-stage integration issues, and siloed workflows that make it difficult to evaluate system dynamics early.

Attend this webinar to see how Model-Based Design with MATLAB and Simulink unifies multidomain modeling, simulation, controls development, and automatic embedded code generation into a single workflow to help teams move faster and reduce risk. By modeling mechanical, electrical, and electronic components together and evaluating system behavior through simulation before hardware is available, engineers can catch issues earlier, shorten development cycles, and lower the cost of iteration. You’ll see how a simulation-driven approach improves cross-disciplinary collaboration while improving the speed, reliability, and overall quality of mechatronic system development.

Highlights

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

  • Model mechanical, electrical, and electronics subsystems in a unified Simulink environment 
  • Assemble and simulate complete mechatronic systems to evaluate behavior early 
  • Develop and validate embedded control algorithms before hardware is available 
  • Automatically generate production-ready embedded code for prototyping and deployment

About the Presenter

Terry Denery, Ph.D.
Application Engineer, MathWorks 

Terry has 20 years of experience at MathWorks. During that time, he has had thousands of meetings with engineers in a variety of industries. One of his areas of expertise is in modeling electro-mechanical systems and developing controls. Prior to MathWorks, Terry spent seven years at MSC Software and Knowledge Revolution supporting ADAMS, visualNastran, Working Model, and Interactive Physics.  Terry also worked with rocket scientists at Hercules Aerospace (now Aliant Technologies) to develop rocket motors.  He has a Ph.D. in Aeronautics/Astronautics from Stanford University, as well as a B.S. and M.S. from the University of Virginia.  Terry has over a hundred videos posted on YouTube about using Simulink to develop machines and vehicles.
