Article reviews the training manual ?Modeling of mechatronic systems in MATLAB (SIMULINK / SIMMECHANICS)?, which demonstrates the approach to the modeling of mechanical systems using the SimMechanics/Simulink/MATLAB environment. The article describes the structure of training manual and the main stages learning of design and analysis of mechanisms that are found on the basic knowledge of students from courses of university. Thus, the described in the textbook examples of the analysis of mechanisms using SimMechanics library helps to perpetuate the previously learned knowledge. The paper given special attention to the psychological aspects of students' perception of educational and methodical material, learning is based on the principle "from simple to complex" and follows the ideas of visibility and interaction of sensory perception of reality and intellectual knowledge. Tutorial Examples contained in the article and offered to students for learning based on the principles of modern technical devices, which helps to establish the relationship between theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
