Model-Based Design of a Power Window System: Modeling, Simulation, and Validation

The need to bring innovative, high-quality products to market faster is driving the use of models during the design and realization process. Model-based design provides efficiencies in product development that enable companies to deliver products on time, remain within budget, and fulfill initial requirements. The latest model-based design tools can also generate prototype and production code from a model automatically, significantly decreasing development time. This paper applies the model-based design process to the design of a power window control system and considers various aspects of the validation process via testing both during simulation and physical realization.
