Options

Export Settings

• 

blockname : string

  

Specifies the name of the generated block. Default is "MsimModel".

• 

path : string

  

Specifies the output directory for the generated files. Default is "kernelopts('homedir')".

Inputs, Outputs, and Parameters

• 

inputs : list(function) or list(list)

  

Specifies system's input variables.

• 

outputs : list(function) or list(list)

  

Specifies system's output variables.

• 

params : list of equations

  

Specifies the values of the system's parameters.

• 

inpnumdiff = true or false

  

Specifies whether to use numeric derivatives for inputs.  Default is false.

• 

addoutputs = one of the following: "none", "states", "statevals", "continuous", "all"

  

Specifies which additional variables need to be included in outputs.  Default is "none".

• 

scriptparameters = true or false

  

Specifies whether an additional parameter's initialization .m script should be generated. Default is false.

• 

splitparameters = true or false

  

Specifies whether, on a S-function mask/dialog box, parameters should be split into individual entities. Default is false (that is, all parameters are kept in a list).

• 

structparameters = string

  

Specifies the name of the top-level parameter structure. If a non-empty string is specified, the S-function parameters are grouped into a single nested structure according to MapleSim's parameter name hierarchy (i.e. parameter's fully-qualified name). Default is an empty string.

Constraint Handling

• 

coniter = non-negative integer

  

Specifies constraint iteration count. Default is 20, 100 for single precision.

• 

contol = positive

  

Specifies constraint tolerance. Default is 1e-7, 1e-4 for single precision.

• 

evtproj = true of false

  

Specifies use projection in events. Default is true.

Event Handling

• 

evtiter = positive integer

  

Specifies maximum number of event iterations. Default is 10.

• 

evthyst = non negative

  

Specifies width of event hysteresis band. Default is 1e-10, 1e-6 for single precision.

Baumgarte Constraint Stabilization

• 

baumgarte : list

  

Specifies derivative (alpha) and proportional (beta) gains for Baumgarte constraint stabilization in the form baumgarte=[alpha,beta]. If this parameter is set to the empty list, the Baumgarte constraint stabilization is not carried out.

Fixed-Step Integrator

• 

fixedstep = true or false

  

Specifies whether to optimize the generated code for use with fixed-step integrators. If set to true, engine optimizes events handling, as well as relaxes the inconsistencies detection tolerance. Default is false.

• 

reinitonfail = true or false or hold

  

Specifies whether to handle reinitialization of the model on failure.

– 

Specification of true will reinitialize the model to the initial values when a failure occurs, while specification of hold will reinitialize the model to the values at the end of the last successful step.

– 

When specified as true or hold, the engine will add one input, ForceReinit(t), and one output, ReinitCode(t), to the generated Simulink® block. These are generally added as the last input and the last output to the block. If diagnosticinfo option below is set to true then the ReinitCode(t) becomes the second-last output.

– 

The ForceReinit(t) is a floating point input that will force a reinitialization of the model (which reinitializes all variables, except time to their starting values) whenever it's value becomes nonzero.

– 

The ReinitCode(t) output is an integer-valued float that has the value zero if no reinitialization is being performed, and has the following values otherwise:

• 

1.0 - user-specified reinitialization (by setting ForceReinit(t) to a nonzero value),

• 

2.0 - index-1 variable/derivative evaluation failure,

• 

-3.0 - if the event iteration limit is exceeded, the lowest energy level solution (computed as the 2-norm of the index-1 variables) for the last 3 iterations is used to continue the integration. Note that the negative error code indicates that the no full reinitialization has been performed.

• 

4.0 - an undefined value is encountered during event processing,

• 

5.0 - fatal constraint projection failure,

• 

6.0 - ignored terminate (includes the case when invalid configuration is reached).

– 

Note that a user can force a conditional reinitialization in their model by specifying a terminate when a reinitialization is desired.

– 

If the Simulink® inputs/outputs are grouped into vectors, then the reinitialization input/output is automatically put into a group with the same name as the input/output.

– 

This option is only available for Simulink® fixed-step integration.

  

Default is false.

Discretization

• 

discretize = true or false

  

Specifies whether to export as a discrete model (no continuous states).  Default is false.

• 

allowintermediatesteps = false or a list of [num::non negative integer, tol::positive number]

  

If the discretize option above is set to true, and the solver option is set to either "Euler", or "ImplicitEuler", this option specifies that events should be triggered inside a fixed step, by taking at most num internal steps, which are taken according to the following methodology: If the stepsize is h, then if an event occurrence is estimated at r*h (0 < r < 1), step to (r+tol)*h. Note an optimal value of tol is dependent on the model behavior.  If the behavior of the solution between steps is fairly linear, then the small value of tol (for example, 1e-7) can be used to get accurate event crossings.  If the solution is far from linear, then a larger value of tol (for example, 1e-2) will be required to ensure that the event trigger process before (r+tol)*h. If the value of this option is set to false, then all events that occur in a step will be triggered at the end of the step. Default is false.

• 

solver = one of the following: "Euler", "RK2", "RK3", "RK4", "ImplicitEuler"

  

If discretize option above is set to true, specifies which external solver to be included in the exported discrete model.  Default is "Euler".

• 

timestep = non negative

  

If discretize option above is set to true, specifies the exported model's discrete timestep. Default is 1e-3.

• 

singleprec = true or false

  

Specifies whether the S-function code should be generated to work with single precision floating point. Note that when this is set, all tolerances are loosened to work with the lower precision, which can result in accuracy degradation when compared with double precision. Default is false.

Diagnostic

• 

diagnosticinfo = true or false

  

Specifies whether to provide run-time diagnostics in the generated Simulink® block.

– 

When specified as true, engine will add four (4) outputs to the bottom of the Simulink® block, LogStepSize(t), EventIterations(t), ConstraintIterations(t) and ConstraintResidual(t), in that order. These will be added after ReinitCode(t), if present (see option reinitonfail above).

– 

Note that if the Simulink® inputs/outputs are grouped into vectors, these outputs will be placed in the group DiagnosticInfo.

– 

This option will be available for both Simulink® fixed-step integrators and for Simulink® variable-step integrators, and, in the latter case, will report on the maximum of the value obtained since the last output point.

  

Default is false.

Additional Settings

• 

forceoverwrite = true or false

  

Specifies whether the generated files should be overwritten. If set to true, any existing generated files in the output directory will be overwritten without a prompt to the user. If set to false, the user will be asked to confirm if the original files should be overwritten. Default is false.

• 

nosubs : true or false

  

Specifies whether the parameters are entered as the original model names or the substituted names.  Default is false.

• 

optimize =  one of the following: false, "subexpronly", "fast", true

  

Specifies level of code optimization (false = None, true = Full).  Default is "subexpronly".
