Opening the MPC Design Tool
To open the Design Tool in MATLAB®, type
The design tool is part of the Control and Estimation Tools Manager. When invoked as shown above, the design tool opens and creates a new project named MPCdesign.
If you started the tool previously, the above command makes the tool visible but does not create a new project.
Alternatively, if your Simulink® model contains a Model Predictive Controller block, you can double-click the block to obtain its mask (see example below) and click the Design button. If the MPC controller field is empty, the design tool will create a default controller. Otherwise, it will load the named controller object, which must be in your base workspace. You can then view and modify the controller design.
