Hi, I have this equation for moment-axial force interaction: 0.25*(M/M0)^2 + (N/N0) = 1. This equation produces the following curve. Now, I need to make a change to this equation so that the first term becomes (M/M0)^2, and the second term can be changed while keeping (N/N0). The other side of the equation remains the same. ((M/M0)^2+?? = 1). I need to get the same curve as in the figure.

Hello everyone,
I am trying simulate a gas turbine system for my course on modelling and optimization of energy system. I have come out with a design consisting of a compressor, air preheater, combustion chamber and gas turbine. When I try to do the modelling in Simulink, I couldnt find something similar to combustion chamber. Does anyone have any experience in doing this?
Orginal Design:
I have also amended it and come out with second design, where I change to combustion chamber to a heater and the exhaust air is recycled back to air compressor, making it a closed loop system. But I am also unable to find heater from the simulink library, the closest i can get is convective heat transfer. Can someone help on this too and if the closed loop system is feasible to model?

Hi everyone,
for my thesis project I would need to get, every second of the simulation, real-time output data from a Simulink model, without using Simulink Real-Time, as it supports only Speedgoat Hardware. Is there a particular set of blocks for that purpose?
I have to provide that real-time data to hardware for an Hardware in the Loop Simulation so I will need to be able also to receive, as an input, data from the hardware to the Simulink model, again every second of the simulation, to close the loop of the simulation.
Thank you in advance for your support.

Curve line plot

Hi! I am using matlab inbuilt plot option( without typing code) to plot the data. This joins the data points using straight line by default. What will be the easiest way to plot if I want curve to join the points instead?
Ideas
Quick answer: Add set(hS,'Color',[0 0.4470 0.7410]) to code line 329
Explanation: Function corrplot uses functions plotmatrix and lsline. In lsline get(hh(k),'Color') is called in for cycle for each line and scatter object in axes. Inside the corrplot it is also called for all axes, which is slow. However, when you first set the color to any given value, internal optimization makes it much faster. I chose [0 0.4470 0.7410], because it is a default color for plotmatrix and corrplot and this setting doesn't change a behavior of corrplot.
Suggestion for a better solution: Add the line of code set(hS,'Color',[0 0.4470 0.7410]) to the function plotmatrix. This will make not only corrplot faster, but also any other possible combinations of plotmatrix and get functions called like this:
h = plotmatrix(A);
% set(h,'Color',[0 0.4470 0.7410])
for k = 1:length(h(:))
get(h(k),'Color');
end

I keep getting this error message when trying to run my code, I'm confident my wiring is correct and I do not know what this error means-
Library 'Servo' is not uploaded to the board. Clear the current Arduino object and recreate it to include the appropriate library. For a list of available libraries, type 'listArduinoLibraries'.
here is my code
a=arduino();
s1 = servo(a, 'D9', 'MinPulseDuration', 700*10^-6, 'MaxPulseDuration', 2300*10^-6);
writePosition(s1,0);
userResponse = "yes";
while userResponse == "yes"
chicken = input("Insert your resistor");
voltage = readVoltage(a, "A0");
if voltage < 1.67155
resistor = "47k";
writePosition(s1,0.25);
minR = 47000 * 0.95;
maxR = 47000 * 1.05;
elseif voltage < 3.53128
resistor = "10k";
writePosition(s1,0.5);
minR = 10000 * 0.95;
maxR = 10000 * 1.05;
elseif voltage < 4.69941
resistor = "1k";
writePosition(s1,0.75);
minR = 1000 * 0.95;
maxR = 1000 * 1.05;
else
resistor = "330";
writePosition(s1,1);
minR = 330 * 0.95;
maxR = 330 * 1.05;
end
resistance = voltageToResistance(voltage);
withinTolerance = (resistance >= minR && resistance <= maxR);
disp(resistor)
if withinTolerance == 1
writeDigitalPin(a, "D4", 1);
writeDigitalPin(a, "D5", 0);
%disp("green")
else
writeDigitalPin(a, "D4", 0);
writeDigitalPin(a, "D5", 1);

end
userResponse = input("Would you like to check another resistor? ","s");
writePosition(s1,0);
writeDigitalPin(a, "D4", 0);
writeDigitalPin(a, "D5", 0);

Error C MEX S-function

Hello there, I have a Amesim Black box model in Simulink. On my desktop, it works well. Also i tried to run on other desktops. Most of them work well. But some of them gives following error: Error in 'Model' while executing C MEX S-function 'Model', (mdlInitializeConditions), at time 0.0. Caused by: in Simcenter Amesim mexfunction: 'Model', Simcenter Amesim fatal error Cannot initialize Simcenter Amesim Model. EXIT This is an urgent case for me. Could you please help me?

Thank you so much.

It is crucial to understand that this expression could be used in problems related to engineering, physics, mathematics, or any other aspect of real life.
Typically, Matlab is used to solve PDE and ODE problems. Perhaps users calculated this term 0^0 incorrectly in the process.
