Abstract
The paper focuses on a new approach to MATLAB Simulink-based modelling and analysis of hybrid systems whose event-driven part(s) is (are) modeled by the Petri Net (PN) formalism. A Petri Net Simulink Block (PNSB) allows the connection of a PN with other Simulink blocks, by means of events and data regarding the current status of the PN. Some issues regarding the implementation and exploitation of the Simulink blocks included in the Petri Net Library (PNL) are briefly presented. A complex example illustrates the effectiveness of the utilization of PNSBs in simulation-based performance analysis of hybrid systems.
