Plant Model Specs

Structured specification of plant models for closed-loop simulation. Adapts the specifying-software templates for the physics-modeling domain.

When to Use

• Creating a plant model to close the loop with an existing controller
• Updating or extending an existing plant model spec
• Specifying a plant model before building it
• Deciding on model architecture (subsystem decomposition, fidelity level)
• Planning validation of a plant model

When NOT to Use

• Building the plant model → use building-simulink-models
• Testing an existing plant model → use testing-simulink-models
• Specs for controller algorithms or MBD algorithms → use specifying-mbd-algorithms
• Specs for traditional software (C, C++, Python, MATLAB scripts) → use specifying-software
• Specifying a full closed-loop system → use specifying-mbd-algorithms for the algorithm side, this skill for the plant side
