Model-based design (MBD) is a mathematical and visual method of addressing problems associated with designing complex control,[1]signal processing[2] and communication systems. It is used in many motion control, industrial equipment, aerospace, and automotive applications.[3][4] Model-based design is a methodology applied in designing embedded software.[5][6][7]
