Simulink Engine Interaction with System Object Methods - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)

Simulink Engine Phases Mapped to System Object Methods

This diagram shows a process view of the order in which the MATLAB System block invokes System object™ methods within the context of the Simulink® engine.

Note the following:

• Simulink calls the stepImpl, outputImpl, and updateImpl methods multiple times during simulation at each time step. Simulink typically calls other methods once per simulation.
• The Simulink engine calls the isOutputFixedSizeImpl,getDiscreteStateSpecificationImpl,isOutputComplexImpl, getOutputDataTypeImpl, getOutputSizeImpl when using propagation methods.
• Simulink calls saveObjectImpl andloadObjectImpl for saving and restoring the model operating point, the Simulation Stepper, and Fast Restart.
• Default implementations save and restore all properties with public access, including DiscreteState.
