Simulink Integrator block: how to

Hi:
I'm trying to figure out how exactly the integrator block (Simulink) works, I mean, How can be calculated manually? (e.g. if a ramp signal is integrated, a parabola is obtained)
Thanks.

Simplified, it is new_value equals old_value plus increase and the increase is gradient divided by step size. The question now is how deep you are in math, e.g. for an university student of engineering I would recommend different material than if you are going to college.

What do you mean by how exactly? integration of ramp is indeed a parabola.. example y=mx, integration of y=integration(mx)=(mx^2/2) which is indeed a parabola's equation..

You dont need an equation to integrate. As I said before, integration is merely area under curve. suppose your sample time is 0.1 seconds, so your time signal is [0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,...]. Your Actual Signal may be [0,4,2.3,-3.4,3,...]. corresponding to the time values defined above. lets assume t1=time[0]=0; t2=time[0]=0.1; dt=t2-t1=0.1; signal has changed from 0.4 t0 2.3. This region is almost a trapezoid. area under this curve is a the area of trapezium within these lines(x=0 [for y-axis or t1=0],y=0[for x-axis], x=0.1 [for t2=0.1] and y=mx+c where m=2.3/0.4 indicating slope].. Thus the total area is calculated as an summation of such tiny areas.
Now what I have described above is simple, it is called trapezoidal integration. The normal integration is similar in concept but more continuous and more generic.
