Can Simulink use symbolic constants (syms x, y, z) or only numerical values (x=1, y=2, z=3) are accepted ?

Dear all,

Is there a way to assign symbolic variables in Simulink blocks to identify how a constant will affect the overall loop/TF?

Using a simple example:

Lets say I want to identify how the variables a and b will affect the overall TF as I reduce it to a single block TF.

Is there a way/block in Simulink that would allow this?

Thank you in advance.

Seb

NO. Simulink will NOT use symbolic parameters. Sorry. Simulink is essentially a numerical solver. It does not perform symbolic computations.
