Ways to Linearize Models

You can linearize Simulink models either:

• Interactively in the GUI

  For more information, see Steps for Linearizing Models Using the GUI.

• Programmatically at the command line using MATLAB code

  For more information, see Exact Linearization Using the Command Line. If you are computing multiple linearizations of large models when only a few blocks or model references change per linearization, see Computing Multiple Linearizations for Large Models.

Tip   You can automatically generate MATLAB code from your GUI configuration.

You can also compute the frequency response of Simulink models, including models with event-based dynamics that might not linearize using exact linearization. Examples of event-based dynamics are

• Stateflow charts

• Triggered subsystems

• PWM signals

For information on how to compute the frequency response of a Simulink model, see Frequency Response Estimation of Simulink Models.
