Ran in:
Hello everyone,
I am trying without succes to convert a set of Equations of Motion (EoMs) to a Simulink block.
The EoMs have been derived symbolically using Matlab symbolic Toolbox.
In order to make my problem clear I add below the code of a simplified problem, consisting in the EoMs of a 3 Degrees of Freedom (DoFs) system (a body in the 2D cartesian space) with only 1 DoF controlled by a torque.
Once the EoMs have been computed, I would like to generate a block in Simulink that implments them.
I tried using the function matlabFunctionBlock but it does not work. The reason (I believe) is that the EoMs are written as:
% EoM_i = diff(var(t), t, t)) == in(t)
and not in the form out = fun(in) as in https://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/generate-matlab-function-blocks.html
I would like to know if there is a workaround to use the Equations in the way I defined them or an alternative way to solve the issue.
Thank you very much!

Hi N/A,
I understand from your issue that you need to create a Simulink block that simulates the behavior of your defined Equations of Motion (EoMs). It cannot be done directly from the code that you have written. However,you can do it by implementing the same equations directly in Simulink. You can find the following steps to achieve the same:
  • Create a Subsystem by using the Subsystem block (available at Simulink / Ports & Subsystems).
  • Use the same number of Inport blocks (available at Simulink / Ports & Subsystems) and Outport blocks (available at Simulink / Ports & Subsystems) in the subsystem as the number of inputs and outputs for the block to implement the equations.
  • Implement the equations in the Subsystem using various blocks of Simulink.
  • Create a "Mask" for the subsystem and define the parameters and their properties.
  • Create a custom library and put your block in the library for future use.
You can find further information on "Create Custom Library" , "Create Block Masks" in the following documentations.
Hope this helps in resolving the issue.
