Output options
Description
Select options for generating additional output signal data for variable-step solvers.
Category: Data Import/Export
Settings
Default:
Refine output
Refine output
Generates data output between, as well as at, simulation times steps. Use Refine factor to specify the number of points to generate between simulation time steps. For more information, see Refine Output.
Produce additional output
Generates additional output at specified times. Use Output times to specify the simulation times at which Simulink® software generates additional output.
Produce specified output only
Use Output times to specify the simulation times at which Simulink generates output, in addition to the simulation start and stop times.
Tips
These settings can force the solver to calculate output values for times that it would otherwise have omitted because the calculations were not needed to achieve accurate simulation results. These extra calculations can cause the solver to locate zero crossings that it would otherwise have missed.
For additional information on how Simulink software calculates outputs for these three options, see Samples to Export for Variable-Step Solvers.
Do not use a variable name that is the same as a
Simulink.SimulationOutput
object function name or property name.
Dependencies
This parameter is enabled only if the model specifies a variable-step solver (see Solver Type).
Selecting Refine output
enables the Refine
factor parameter.
Selecting Produce additional output
or
Produce specified output only
enables the
Output times parameter.
