Abstract
This paper analyzes the Matlab/Simulink software package for simulating dynamic systems. Specifically, its capability and applicability to a basic system dynamics course is considered. The notable ease of learning the basics of this software package, and its capability to simulate highly complex linear, nonlinear, and discrete systems, makes it a useful teaching aid. This teaching aid is not the substitute, but rather a valuable contribution to hands-on laboratory exercises
