How I can generate a continuous signal using a solver with fixed step size?

2 views (last 30 days)
Hello people! In my simulation I must use a fixed step size (0.01 s) with the solver ode4 (Runge-Kutta). The input to my model is a constant block. I want that this block run each 0.2 second (I know how to do this) and I want a signal longer than the fixed step size..I mean I want a signal of the duration of 0.3 s, a continuous signal 0.3 s long. Is it possible? Thank you veru much, Fabrizio

Why don't you increase the fixed step size? What you're looking for may depend very much on your model and setup. Do you know what continuous vs discrete means here? If your not processing signals faster than 0.01 seconds than you may not need to run any faster. Again, this really depends on your model.
Another option is a for-iterator subsystem.

Thank you Ryan for your answer and excuse me for the delay of this comment! Anyway I solved the problem in this way: I used an atomic subsystem linked with a rate transition block! in this way I can keep the step of the simulation at 0.01 s (it's a must) and inside the asub everithiing run at 0.2s! then the rate transition put the out of asub inside the main(because in that environment I have to manage the output)!

You need to let your tmax be 0.4 and solve then discard the data for 0.3<t<0.4
