IDNLGREY Model - Simulate nonlinear grey-box model in Simulink software

Library

System Identification Toolbox

Description

Simulates systems of nonlinear grey-box (idnlgrey) models.

Input

Input signal to the model.

Output

Output signal from the model.

Dialog Box

IDNLGREY model

Name of idnlgrey variable in the MATLAB workspace.

Initial state

Specify the initial states as one of the following:

'z': Specifies zero, which corresponds to a system starting from rest.
'm': Specifies the internal initial states of the model.
Vector of size equal to the number of states in the idnlgrey object.
An initial state structure array. For information about creating this structure, type help idnlgrey/sim in the MATLAB Command Window.
