Resumo:
Engineers use computational tools to facilitate and streamline their work. Furthermore, these tools make possible the development of projects that otherwise would not be developed. However, accessibility should be considered in relation to existing platforms. Some are expensive, hardware consuming, or simply difficult to use. The work presented aims to add contributions to the web platform developed by Ximenes (2021), in the Control Systems context. It was developed in three phases: 1) back end, using Python to add new features; 2) front end, with Figma, JavaScript and React to improve the user interface experience; and 3) integration tests, built with Cypress framework in JavaScript. Contributions were made to correct the flaws of the tool developed by Ximenes (2021), and new features were added. Thus, it is capable of returning important information for control projects: Open-Loop Process and Closed-Loop System Step Response; Closed-Loop System parameters verification against the designer’s specifications; Bode Diagrams and Root Locus. The theoretical fundation of both the Analog Control concepts and the technologies used was presented, and the entire platform development process was described. Also, discussions about the project results were presented. Finally, it is clear that the work has improved the student’s learning experience on the control systems analysis and design by means of the web platform.
