Sym Function to Simulink

I have a symbolic function that I want to get to a Simulink System.

The parameters may change, so copy and paste to a Matlab/S-Function is not an option.

I found out, with matlabFunction I can create a function handle from the symfun. But getting a function handle to a Simulink function, seems also a problem.

Hi Tobias,

I think you can use 'matlabFunctionBlock' function to Generate MATLAB Function Blocks from Symbolic Expressions. You can refer to the following link:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/generate-matlab-function-blocks.html

There is also an other way to use Symbolic Function inside a Simulink model. Going through following MATLAB Answers post might help you.

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/361832-how-to-implement-symbolic-matlab-function-on-simulink

I hope this helps.

The matlabFunctionBlock is working like intended.

A bit annoying, the slx has to be saved every time. The best solution for dynamic code would be a block that can read a workspace variable containing a symfun or function handle.
