Different time response of same trasfer function in matlab and simulink
Show older comments
I am modeling the mechanical component of an accelerometer and tf is MechCmp =
4.313e-09
---------------------------------
4.313e-09 s^2 + 0.05545 s + 149.9
when i use step(MechCmp) i get this response

but when i give step ip to its Simulink tf block of the exact same values it takes much time and gives a straight line as o/p. I also tried LTI block and state space model of the same tf but problem is same.i found answers saying that simulink uses ode solvers instead of fixed sample time, can anyone explain to me how to do disable ode solvers or use fixed sample time in simulink. or anyother suggestion

The Simulink is giving the same plot as MATLAB, the problem in the display is happening because The system step response has a very small magnitude (approx 2.9e-11) and the settling time is also very small (approx 2e-3 seconds). You need to scale the scope axis properly, to see the same graph. Change the Simulation Stop time to 0.01 seconds and scale the axis using the button shown in the red box
