Hello All,
I am wondering how to solve system of differential equations using simulink?
plz do help me how to make a simulink model.
regards,

Hi,
you could open the vdp model as a typical second order differential equation. The way to go stays the same when you have a system: put as many integrators per row of your system as you have orders of differentiation, and feed them with the variables that make up the differential equation.

Write down the equations on paper and then implement them using the various blocks available in Simulink. A tip: it's generally better to start with the highest order derivative and integrate rather than the other way round and differentiates. Have a look at Modeling Best Practises in the Simulink documentation and also at the interactive tutorials on the MathWorks web site.
HTH,
Arnaud

That system does not have a solution. If you differentiate the second equation once more, you have:
x'' = -x' - z''
z'' = -1 - x'' - x'
If you then substitute the expression for z'' in the second equation into the first, you get:
x'' = -x' + 1 + x'' + x'
in other words, 1 = 0.
I suggest you check these equations, they're probably wrong.

how can I solve this system using Euler's method in matlab
u'=p
v'=q
p'=0
q'=0
such that u(0)=0 , v(0)=0, p(0)=0, q(0)=1?

Yes, as long there is a solution, you can represent any system of ODEs in Simulink. Start working out the higher order derivatives and use integrator blocks to work your way up. Read the documentation, e.g.:

Like I said before (read my previous answers/comments), you can represent any system of ODEs in Simulink. Start working out the higher order derivatives and use integrator blocks to work your way up. Read the documentation, e.g.:

Also work through the tutorials I suggested and look at Modelling Best Practises in the documentation.
