Third Party Libraries

In addition to the libraries included with Extend, Extend+BPR, and Extend+Manufacturing, some Extend users have developed specialized libraries for distribution.  These Third Party Libraries and their Developers are listed below.

C-CASLab (Classical Control Analysis & Simulation Lab)

     Description

A system of libraries developed for the field of Control Engineering.  With C-CASLab the user can construct models of classical control systems in many disciplines, simulate operation of the models, and analyze model properties.  The user-interface of the library is designed for maximum flexibility while minimizing changes in the model structure. 
     Applications

Control systems; mainly in the automotive, aerospace, and consumer products industries.  For example: Thermostat control settings which turn ovens on and off; Hydraulic brake systems on trucks; servo systems such as steering mechanisms and their effect on other parts; inner workings of machines; etc.

ControlWare
     Description       For designing, analyzing, and simulating dynamic system and feedback controllers.  ControlWare includes classic control system analysis techniques:  time response, frequency response, phase and gain margin readouts, and root locus.  These techniques are in the form of virtual instruments that are attached to the system, as in a circuit tester, that would provide classic control system criteria. It features both linear and nonlinear analysis.
     Applications

Control systems; mainly in the automotive, aerospace, and consumer products industries.  For example: Thermostat control settings which turn ovens on and off; Hydraulic brake systems on trucks; servo systems such as steering mechanisms and their effect on other parts; inner workings of machines; etc.
