The book is published by Routledge - the links at the top will take you to its details.
The 'sim' link will take you to a simulation site.
An important feature of the book is the numerous real-time
simulations that illustrate each feature of control and mechatronics.
In the EPUB and online versions, these can be linked with a simple click.
Readers of the printed version will have been directed here by printed links.
They need only remember the link to this page, to
find any of the simulations, grouped by the chapter where they appear.
An alternative is to use this app to enter the simulation name into a box.
