Benefits of using a simulink function to access simulink blocks. Function caller block, matlab function block, stateflow chart. Use an output event in a stateflow chart to call the subsystem, as shown. Once you create the simulink function, it can be executed by any computational unit and can be called in multiple places. Call simulink functions from matlab system block matlab.
It supports systemlevel design, simulation, automatic code generation, and continuous test and verification of embedded systems. The simulink interface should now appear as shown below in figure 2. Maab control algorithm modeling guidelines using matlab. Simulink documentation makers of matlab and simulink. Blocks in a simulink diagram should be grouped together into subsystems based on functional decomposition of the algorithm, or portion thereof, represented in. A typical use of function handles is to pass a function to another function. Set up a matlab function in a stateflow chart to receive data through an input argument from a function caller and then pass a calculated value back through an output argument. For example, you can use function handles as input arguments to functions that evaluate mathematical expressions over a range of values. For example, the following line sets the first parameter of an sfunction with three dialog parameters to tunable, and the second and third parameters to nontunable. It is basically a graphical block diagramming tool with customizable. Adding an embedded matlab function block to a model. The sections that follow compare two ways of defining a function that uses simulink blocks.
