Open Live Script

Use the showContents function to view the simulation configuration stored in a Simulink.SimulationInput object.

Open the model. 

open_system('ex_sldemo_househeat')

Create a Simulink.SimulationInput object for the model ex_sldemo_househeat. 

simIn = Simulink.SimulationInput('ex_sldemo_househeat');

Configure a variable value and model parameter values on the Simulink.SimulationInput object.

simIn = setVariable(simIn,'cost',50);
simIn = setModelParameter(simIn,'Start','0','Stop','50');

View the configuration stored on the Simulink.SimulationInput object.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Simulation specification or simulation, specified as a Simulink.SimulationInput object or a Simulation object.

A SimulationInput object represents a simulation specification that includes the initial state, external inputs, model parameter values, block parameter values, and variable values to use in the simulation.

The Simulation object represents a simulation and provides an interface for controlling and interacting with the simulation.
