According to my understanding, the error suggests that there is a mismatch or incorrect assignment of units within the component, specifically related to the flow rate 'Q'.
Here are some steps and tips to resolve unit conversion issues in Simscape:
1. Global Unit Setting in Simulink Configuration:
- Go to the Simulink model’s Configuration Parameters window.
- Navigate to "Simscape" and check the default units and unit conversion settings to ensure that they align with your component expectations.
- Make changes if needed to ensure consistency in units like m^3/s for flow rate.
2. Check Variable Declarations:
- Verify that there are no other initializations or assignments within your code that might implicitly convert units. For example, confirm that 'Q' is declared without any units indicated like cm^3/s outside of your immediate code.
3. Custom Unit Definition (if needed):
- Create a custom unit within the Simulink model, if applicable, to specify m^3/s. This can force the system to use the desired dimension.
4. Reviewing Component Equations:
- In your component equations, ensure all quantities used have compatible units. Check divisions and multiplications, especially those involving constants and parameters (rho,g,r).
Once the changes are made:
- Rebuild the Model: After revising the unit settings and variable declarations, rebuild and simulate the model to check for errors.
- Unit Verification: Utilize Simscape logging to verify the units of all variables during simulation. This logging can help ensure that 'Q' is indeed using m^3/sas intended.
Hope this helps!
