save

Save contents of model workspace to a MAT-file

Syntax

save(mdlWks,fileName)

Description

save(mdlWks,fileName) saves the variables in the model workspace represented by the Simulink.ModelWorkspace object mdlWks to the MAT-file specified by fileName.

When you set the DataSource property of the model workspace to 'MAT-File' or 'MATLAB File', to save to the file that acts as the external data source of the model, use saveToSource instead of save.

Examples

Save Contents of Model Workspace to MAT-File

Open the example model vdp.

openExample('simulink_general/VanDerPolOscillatorExample')

Create a Simulink.ModelWorkspace object that represents the model workspace of vdp.

mdlWks = get_param('vdp','ModelWorkspace');

Create some variables in the model workspace.

assignin(mdlWks,'myVar',5.12)
assignin(mdlWks,'myOtherVar',7.22)

Save the variables to a new MAT-file named myVars.mat.

save(mdlWks,'myVars.mat')

The MAT-file appears in your current folder.
