Model-Based Design (MBD)
Engineering approach that uses simulation models to design and test control systems.
Model-based design uses virtual representations of system behavior to develop control algorithms. Engineers simulate dynamics, generate code automatically, and validate performance early in development. MBD shortens design cycles and reduces prototyping costs. Combined with tools like MATLAB/Simulink, it integrates seamlessly with HIL and SIL (Software-in-the-Loop) testing. Automotive companies rely on MBD for ECU, battery, and ADAS development.
