Hi,

Iam trying to calculate the total transfer function of a system I am modelling in SIMULINK with one negative feedback loop and a positive feedback loop. I know the transfer functions of both the controllers and the plant and am wandering, can SIMULINK calculate the overall all transfer function (Just the simplified Output/Input)?? Or does anyone know the best way to calculate a simplied model in matlab??

I have tried manually calculating this using MATLAB but I seem to keep making mistakes getting an answer thats definately wrong (since the simplified system will be a 13order system). Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

I have worked the transfer function out in the command window using the "feedback" function, but is there a way to do this in SIMULINK??
