Smoothing (continuous->discrete)
R2026bApply output smoothing when connecting variable-step network to fixed-step network
Since R2022a
Smoothing (continuous->discrete) block
To add a block to a model, double-click the canvas and start typing the block name. Then, select the block from the list.
Libraries:
Simscape /
Network Couplers /
Fundamental Components
Description
Note
Prediction and smoothing algorithms are built into the Network Coupler blocks, and you can enable them by using the check boxes in the block dialogs. The prediction and smoothing blocks in the Fundamental Components sublibrary are provided for your reference only.
When variable-step network (Network 1) has high-frequency activity above what the fixed-step network (Network 2) can sample, applying smoothing to the output of Network 1 can sometimes be advantageous because it helps you avoid picking a local peak or trough of the Network 1 activity. The Smoothing (continuous->discrete) block uses a first-order filter to remove unwanted high-frequency information from the Network 1 output before providing the value to Network 2. The block implementation is a masked subsystem.
