Using Simulink

Setting Simulation Parameters and Choosing the Solver

You set the simulation parameters and select the solver by choosing Parameters from the Simulation menu. Simulink displays the Simulation Parameters dialog box, which uses three "panes" to manage simulation parameters:

• The Solver pane allows you to set the start and stop times, choose the solver and specify solver parameters, and choose some output options.
• The Workspace I/O pane manages input from and output to the MATLAB workspace.
• The Diagnostics pane allows you to select the level of warning messages displayed during a simulation.

Each pane of the dialog box, including the parameters you set on the pane, is discussed in detail in The Simulation Parameters Dialog Box.

You can specify parameters as valid MATLAB expressions, consisting of constants, workspace variable names, MATLAB functions, and mathematical operators.
