Level-2 Matlab S-Function Example
Example of a Mass Spring Damper System by means of a level-2 Matlab S-Function in order to use functions such as
1) loading an *.xml file to obtain the system parameters and
2) the usage of Matlab structures
The program loads the system parameters by using the MassSpringDamper.xml file and stores the parameters inside a Matlab structure by using the Xml2Struct.m file.
Reference of the Xml2Struct.m file: https://nl.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/28518-xml2struct
The Mass Spring Damper System is solved by using a state-space approach as described in:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
----------------
1) In order to make the model work, be sure your Matlab path is correctly set (pointing to the donwloaded folder).
2) You can also use absolute path/file names instead of the relative one in the constant block.
