Procedure for simulation study :
● Write the coding for Initialize the input parameters and as per requirement of plots in m file and save
it
● Open new Simulink file and make mathematical modelling as per circuit diagram and save it
● Run the m file first ,after that run Simulink file
● View the result in Scope
● Again run m file and view the plots
● Make various plots and view the results and infer.
