Creating an Estimation Project

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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

   Note   The Simulink model must remain open to perform parameter estimation tasks.
