At the Vienna University of Technology, Institute for Analysis and Scientific Computing, the Research Group for Mathematical Modelling uses the MMT-Server for teaching mathematical modelling. MMT stands for Mathematics, Modelling and Tools. It is based on and a PHP interface, which is responsible for input and output of parameters and results. Most of the currently existing examples on the MMT systems are simulated with MATLAB. As MATLAB is used for interactive experiments on this server, it?s nearby to integrate Simulink as a second simulator in order to have the possibility to compare different modelling approaches. Simulink differs from MATLAB due to its graphical description of models by signal flow graphs. Simulink works with linear and non-linear time-continuous and time-discrete systems. Therefore, specifications of Laplace- and z-transformations from linear system theory as well as solvers for ordinary differential equations of non-linear systems are available.
