系统建模和模拟在工程中是至关重要的，尤其是在许多大学中的自动控制系统（AC）工程中。必须很好地了解该系统的操作行为，以便可以牢记使用适当的控制器。开发了用户友好的视觉界面。因此，参加ACS课程的学生的实用，视觉和功能性环境被称为虚拟控制实验室（VCL）学生能够设计和模拟经典的比例综合衍生物（PID）控制器和模糊逻辑控制器（FLC）。为了进行模拟和分析参加ACS课程，以评估学生的观点。 com/journal/cae; doi 10.1002/cae.21678
System modelling and simulation are essential in engineering especially in automatic control systems (ACS) engineering. At many universities, undergraduate curricula include systems and control courses with dynamic modelling and simulations in their syllabi. In order to design a controller for a physical system, one has to know the operational behaviors of that system very well so that a proper controller could be designed. Keeping this in mind, educational computer‐aided software with a user‐friendly visual interface was developed. The software provides an opportunity for students to simulate physical systems without and with the controllers they designed. Since it was developed to accompany undergraduate control system courses, the main purpose of this software was to create an interactive, practical, visual, and functional environment for the students who taking ACS courses. Therefore, it was called as virtual control laboratory (VCL). Basically, the students were able to design and simulate classical proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) controllers and fuzzy logic controller (FLC). Besides, any other type of compensator with a transfer function or a state space model can be also combined with the physical system model for simulation and analysis. A laboratory type scope with two input channels was embedded in VCL in order to visually see and analyze the simulation results in the time domain. Responses from the students taking ACS course were also given to evaluate the proposed educational software from students' point of view. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Comput. Appl. Eng.
