Workflow for Creating Continuous-Time Charts

Here are the tasks for modeling hybrid systems containing mode logic in continuous-time using Stateflow charts:

Step	Task	Example in Bouncing Ball Model
	Configure the chart to update in continuous-time.	Task 1: Configure the Bouncing Ball Chart for Continuous Updating
	Decide whether to detect zero crossings.	Task 2: Decide Whether to Enable Zero-Crossing Detection for the Bouncing Ball
	Define continuous-time variables.	Task 3: Define Continuous-Time Variables for Position and Velocity
	Choose a solver that supports continuous states (see Choosing a Solver in the Simulink User's Guide documentation).	Task 4: Choose a Solver for the Bouncing Ball Chart
	Add system dynamics.	Task 5: Add Dynamics for a Free-Falling Ball
	Expose continuous states to a Simulink model.	Task 6: Expose Ball Position and Velocity to the Simulink Model
	Validate semantics, based on design considerations for continuous-time simulation.	Task 7: Validate Semantics of Bouncing Ball Chart
	Simulate the chart.	Task 8: Simulate Bouncing Ball Chart
	Debug and revise.	Task 9: Check for the Bounce
