Simulink(R) Execution Control

A Simulink(R) block for execution control of Simulink models

Description

This block allows you to simulate a Simulink(R) model in "real-time". You can also set a factor of real-time, for exampel three times real-time of half real-time. It is possible to set the priority of the the Simulink process and model thread.

To install: Unpack the zip-file in a directory and add that directory to your MATLAB(R) path. When you start simulink the block library should be added automatically to your Simulink library browser.

• Required Products: Simulink
• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a)
• Other requirements: Windows only

Wow! You made my day. Thanks!

I can not live without this

[Bjorn J]

I cannot run this in Linux (Ubuntu). It says that
"S-Function 'sfun_exec_contr' does not exist."
Can you please help me?

[Robert Effinger]

It's worth mentioning for us noobs out there...

You don't have to connect the output of this timer to anything for it to work. You just stick it in the simulink model on its own and it slows things down appropriately. I think the timer's outputs are for diagnostic purposes only.

This has been really helpful to me. I have following questions though--

1)About Real-Time factor, how do we know we maxed it out given the limitations of PC?

In the overrun behavior options, if I use Error then it reports error even for lowest factors like 5,10.
In the overrun behavior options, if I use continuous it runs fine even for factors like 5000!

2) Is there a way I can run different subsystems and main model at two different Real-time factors?

So advanced that it appears to be magic. Many thanks!

So perfect.
I use it for setting and getting my xPCTarget parameters and signals.
Very helpful.
Good Job.

Hello,

I tried using the execution control block but get the following error message:

Error while obtaining sizes from MEX S-function 'sfun_exec_contr' in 'untitled/Simulink Execution Control/S-Function'. MATLAB error message:
Invalid MEX-file 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2006a\MyPlugins\exec_ctrl_V4\sfun_exec_contr.mexw32': The specified procedure could not be found.

I tired looking around everywhere but did not find a solution. Can someone please help?

Thanks,
Nitin
