Abstract :
A MATLAB-based menu-driven multi-input multi-output linear system block diagram modeling program called BLOCKM is presented. This program can be used very easily to enter complicated models described in block diagram form. The state-space representation of the system can then easily be found and processed in the MATLAB environment. The F-14 benchmark problem is used as an example to show the block diagram description, and the response to a Gaussian white noise input is analyzed using simulation. Model reduction analysis of the system is also explored
