ODESCA

What is ODESCA?

ODESCA is a MATLAB tool for the creation an analysis of dynamic systems described by ordinary differential equations. The name ODESCA is an acronym for “Ordinary Differential Equation Systems: Creation and Analysis”.

For Model-based control algorithm development and algorithm parameterization, algebraic models of the plants have a lot of advantages over simulation models. With algebraic models, a multitude of mathematical approaches can be used for optimization and analytical purposes.

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 analysis of ordinary differential equation systems in MATLAB. (Its purpose is to make the process of forming a pleasant system for analysis use more easily.)

With ODESCA, dynamical systems of the form

xdot 	= f(x,u)

y    	= g(x,u)

can be set up by using and configuring custom components. The differential equations of these components can be connected to each other in a system which provides methods for the analysis of the dynamical behavior. This can be done by linearization at steady states and the implemented MATLAB features for linear systems. Moreover, some features for nonlinear analysis and synthesis approaches are implemented for systems.
