Initializing parameters from an mfile function to a simulink file

Hello everyone,does everyone know how I can solve the following problem? I have several mfiles and one simulink file slx. The simulink file is run by sim command located in a sub-function. Since the variable into an mfile changes and then calculations performed, the output of this sub-function is fed to the simulink as its parameters. At this moment, an error is returned indicating undefined parameters in simulink. This is initially because data is not available in workspace for running simulink. So, how can I import data of an mfile function to a simulink file? Thanks

hello

in your m file , you have to do all variables declaration / initialisaton before you do sim() with your simulink model.

If I understand your workflow correclty, it looks something like this:

function simout = myfunction(inputarg)

simparam1 = 5*inputarg;  % compute the simulation parameter based on the input

simout = runsim(simparam1);

end

function simout = runsim(simparam1)

simout = sim('thesimulation')

end

That code won't work because, as you saw, the block parameter that you want to take the value of simparam1 is not defined. Instead you can use a SimulationInput object. That link shows how with examples. Something like this, at least to get started:

function simout = myfunction(inputarg)

simparam1 = 5*inputarg;  % compute the simulation parameter based on the input

simout = runsim(simparam1);

end

function simout = runsim(simparam1)

in = Simulink.SimulationInput('thesimulation');  % create the object
in = in.setVariable('thegain',simparam1);        % assumes a block parameter called thegain

simout = sim(in);

end
