setPreSimFcn

Specify a MATLAB function to run before start of each simulation through SimulationInput object, in

Syntax

in = in.setPreSimFcn(@(x) myfunction(arg1, arg2 ...))

Description

in = in.setPreSimFcn(@(x) myfunction(arg1, arg2 ...)) runs before each simulation starts. The Simulink.SimulationInput object is passed as an argument x to this function. myfunction is any MATLAB^® function and can be used to modify the Simulink.SimulationInput object. If you use myfunction to modify the Simulink.SimulationInput object, you must return Simulink.SimulationInput object as the only output argument.

Specify a MATLAB Function to Run Before Each Simulation

This example shows how to specify a MATLAB function through SimulationInput object to run at before start of each simulation.

Create a PreSimFcn function.

function presim(in)
signalbuilder('sf_car/User Inputs', 'ActiveGroup', in.Variables.Value)
end

Open the model.

model = 'sf_car';
open_system(model);

Create an array of SimulationInput objects for this model. Use in.setPreSimFcn to run presim before simulation.

 n = 4;
   for idx = n:-1:1
      in(idx) = Simulink.SimulationInput(model);
      in(idx) = in(idx).setVariable('SigIndex', idx);
      in(idx) = in(idx).setPreSimFcn(@(x) presim(x));
   end

Simulate the model.
