Before you begin data import, you must create and set up an estimation project by configuring the appropriate parameters, solvers, and cost functions. Simulink® Design Optimization™ software provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that makes setting up the estimation project quick and easy.
To create an estimation project:
Open the nonlinear idle speed model of an automotive engine by typing :
engine_idle_speed
at the MATLAB® prompt.
The model appears as shown next.

The model contains the Inport block BPAV and Outport block Engine Speed for importing input and output data, respectively. To learn more, see Configuring a Model for Importing Data.
Open the Control and Estimation Tools Manager GUI by selecting Tools > Parameter Estimation in the Simulink model window.
Control and Estimation Tools Manager GUI

The project tree displays the project name Project - engine_idle_speed. Estimation tasks are organized inside the Estimation Task node.
