Model-Based Design Walk through: Part 4: Data

This post is the fourth in a series of 8 video blogs, walking through the fundamentals of Model-Based Design. When taken as a whole, these videos provide the foundation stones for understanding and implementing Model-Based Design workflows. I will be using a simple Home A/C system for my example; however the principals apply to everything from Active suspensions to Zonal control.(1)

With this post I cover the basics of data management, both for the model and configuration settings.

Footnote

  1. Stay in the zone, even when you zone out!
  2. Take it with a grain of salt but how you pronounce the word “Data” may be dependent on ST-NG
