sdo.requirements.SingularValue

Singular value bound

expand all in page

Description

Specify frequency-dependent piecewise-linear upper and lower bounds on the singular values of a linear system. You can then optimize the model response to meet these bounds using sdo.optimize.

You can specify upper or lower bounds, include multiple edges, and extend them to + or –infinity.

You must have Simulink® Control Design™ software to specify singular value requirements.

Creation

Syntax

singval_req = sdo.requirements.SingularValue
singval_req = sdo.requirements.SingularValue(Name=Value)

Description

singval_req = sdo.requirements.SingularValue creates a sdo.requirements.SingularValue object and assigns default values to its properties.

example

singval_req = sdo.requirements.SingularValue(Name=Value) specifies one or more properties using name-value arguments. For example, singval_req = sdo.requirements.SingularValue(FrequencyUnits="Hz") creates an sdo.requirements.SingularValue object and specifies the FrequencyUnits property as Hertz.

example

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes. For example, singval_req = sdo.requirements.SingularValue("FrequencyUnits","Hz") creates an sdo.requirements.SingularValue object and specifies the FrequencyUnits property as Hertz.

Properties

expand all

Frequency values for the gain bound, specified as a vector. Specify the start and end frequencies for all the edges in the piecewise-linear bound. The property must be a n-by-2 array of finite doubles, where each row specifies the start and end frequencies of an edge in the piecewise-linear bound. The start and end frequencies must define a positive length. The number of rows must match the number of rows of the BoundMagnitudes property.

Use set to set this and the BoundMagnitudes properties simultaneously.

Use the FrequencyUnits property to specify the frequency units.

Magnitude values for the gain bound, specified as a vector. Specify the start and end gain values for all the edges in the piecewise-linear bound. The property must be an n-by-2 array of finite doubles where each row specifies the start and end gains of an edge in the piecewise-linear bound. The number of rows must match the number of rows of the BoundFrequencies property.

Use set to set this and the BoundFrequencies properties simultaneously.

Use the MagnitudeUnits property to specify the magnitude units.

Requirement description, specified as a character vector.

Example: 'Requirement on signal 1'

Frequency-axis scaling, specified as "log" or "linear" and stored as a character vector. Use this property to determine the value of the bound between edge start and end points, specified as one of the following values:

  • "log" — Logarithmic scaling

  • "linear" — Linear scaling

For example, if bound edges are at frequencies f1 and f2, and the bound is to be evaluated at f3, the edges are interpolated as a straight lines. The x-axis is either linear or logarithmic.

Frequency units of the requirement, specified as one of the following. The sdo.requirements.SingularValue object stores the value as a character vector.

  • "Hz"

  • "rad/s"

  • "rpm"

  • "kHz"

  • "MHz"

  • "GHz"

  • "rad/nanosecond"

  • "rad/microsecond"

  • "rad/millisecond"

  • "rad/minute"

  • "rad/hour"

  • "rad/day"

  • "rad/week"

  • "rad/month"

  • "rad/year"

  • "cycles/nanosecond"

  • "cycles/microsecond"

  • "cycles/millisecond"

  • "cycles/hour"

  • "cycles/day"

  • "cycles/week"

  • "cycles/month"

  • "cycles/year"

Magnitude units of the requirement, specified as either "db" (decibels) or "abs" (absolute units). The sdo.requirements.SingularValue object stores the value as a character vector.

Requirement name, specified as a character vector.

Extend bound in a negative or positive frequency direction, specified as a 1-by-2 logical vector of true or false. If true, the first or last edge of the piecewise linear bound is extended in the negative or positive direction, respectively. Extended bounds go to –inf and +inf, respectively.

Use this property to bound signals that extend beyond the frequency values specified by the BoundFrequencies property.

Magnitude bound type, specified as one of the following and stored as a character vector:

  • "<=" — Upper bound

  • ">=" — Lower bound

Use this property to specify whether the piecewise-linear bound is an upper or lower bound.

Open Live Script

Create a singular value requirements object and specify bound frequencies and magnitudes.

r = sdo.requirements.SingularValue; 
set(r,BoundFrequencies=[1 10; 10 100],...
      BoundMagnitudes=[1 1; 1 0]);

Alternatively, you can specify the frequency and magnitude when you create the object.

r = sdo.requirements.SingularValue(...
    BoundFrequencies=[1 10; 10 100], ...
    BoundMagnitudes=[1 1; 1 0]);

Alternatives

Use getbounds to get the bounds specified in a Check Singular Value Characteristics (Simulink Control Design) block.
