How do I feed data into a simulink model from a .m file?

I've built a class project in simulink that we were supposed to do in a matlab function (I love simulink.) My model reads data from & writes data to the workspace. It works great but the prof wants it in matlab function form: y=f(x). Not a script, a function. He'll balk at anything else. The sim command lets me pass simulation parameters to the model but I don't see any way to feed a 1 million point array into an input port. How do you feed data to a simulink model from inside a matlab function?

i have this data, how do i enter it into matlab using editor and command window to come out with my solution variable

Min Z= 1.80X1+2.0X2+0.52X3+3.6X4+12X5+0.1X6+16X7+0.32X8+26X9

Morrison Tay: the original question was about Simulink. Are you trying to work with Simulink, or are you trying to do this with MATLAB?

Answer 1

[Sachin Ganjare]

If I understand your question correctly;

Define array variable in m file with a specific name (Eg. arr_1mil). Load this file in workspace. Then, use constant block in your model with array name arr_1mil. Connect this block to the input port of matlab function block.

Hope that will solve your problem.

[Morrison Tay]

pls can you give me a step by step answer because i am a new user of your program

Hi,

What about the sampling time. I'm inputting a file into simulink that is sampled at a lower rate. And then it causes errors.

Answer 2

[Kaustubha Govind]

You can either use a From Workspace block or Import Data to Root-Level Input Ports if the data needs to be "streamed" to the model (as opposed to using a Constant block where n samples are treated as a signal of length n).

how do i arrive at my solution variable

[Morrison Tay]

please am still waiting

[Morrison Tay]

i mean am still waiting for the answer for arriving at solution variable

Also you should probably be creating a new Question for this.
