In many cases, dynamic systems are composed of individual components and subsystems. The relationship of a system’s components to each other and the role they serve in the overall system design are oftentimes easier to comprehend when presented in visual form rather than by inspection of the mathematical models. Control systems for ground vehicles, aircraft, robotic devices, building environments, and so forth are typically presented in graphical form as block diagrams. The blocks are both static and dynamic depending on the component it represents. Modern continuous-time system simulation languages include extensive libraries of special purpose blocks to represent the dynamics of commonly occurring components.
