This task template contains the steps required in problem solving. This can be used as an outline for an overall system solution.
There are typically four steps in solving a problem:
Introduction
System Definition
Model, Analyze, Design, and Test
Visualization and Presentation of the Results
The introduction section consists of the problem definition and background information.
Problem Definition
Define the problem. What are the goals?
Background Information
Provide any background information relevant to the problem.
Initializing... Done
Variables and Parameters
Input Variable Names and Descriptions
Output Variable Names and Descriptions
Parameter Names and Descriptions
Input and Output Data and Parameter Values
The input and output data and the known parameter values can be defined in the document or imported from an external source.
Data and Parameters
External Data Imports
These steps are performed as necessary to solve the problem.
Model Formulation and Derivation
Define the system model. It can be known or it can be derived as part of the problem.
Model Analysis
Perform system analysis on the given model. For example:
Compute parameters of interest (for example, time constant, bandwidth)
Simplify the model structure
Plot system response to input
Solution Design and Tuning
Design components based on the system model. This process can be iterative.
Simulation and Testing
Simulate and test the performance of the system model based on the designed components.
Visualization and Presentation
After the required results have been obtained, they can be used in several ways.
Plots and Graphs
Generate and export plots and graphs for visualization.
Interactive Maplets
Create Maplets allowing users to interact with and manipulate your problem solution.
Code Generation
Generate code implementing the problem solution in many different programming languages: C, MATLAB®, Java®, Fortran, and Visual Basic®.
