How to use inside a Simulink file a user-defined class previously written in matlab?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Dear reader,
I have created a simple class given below:
classdef dummy3
properties
a = 0;
b;
end
methods
%constructor
function obj = dummy3(a,b)
% class constructor
if(nargin > 0)
obj.a = a;
obj.b = b;
end
end
end
methods(Static = true)
function value = roll(numdays)
value = numdays;
end
end
end
and let the object P be defined as:
P = dummy3(1,2)
The question is how can I use the variable P.a and how can I call the method P.roll(rand(1)) inside a Simulink file? For convenience, I'd prefer to use them inside a Matlab function, like this scheme:
where I've tried to place inside the code
y = P.a
which resulted in error "Undefined function or variable 'P'." Furthermore, replacing this line by
y = P.roll(rand(1))
yields the same error. I cannot understand why since I did add into File -> Model Properties -> Callbacks -> InitFcn the line of code
P=dummy3(1,2)
Thank you for your help.

I found 2 main issues here:
First, methods of a class must have the object itself as the first argument. So, to correctly use the roll method, you may want to redefine it as:
function value = roll(obj,numdays)
Secondly, you need to create the object P in your MATLAB Function block. In other words, prior to calling P.roll(4), you should say:
P = dummy3(a,b);
val = P.roll(4);

Yes -- sorry, I should have mentioned that. You can make P a persistent variable so it is created only on the first execution of the model.
persistent P;
if isempty(P)
P = dummy3(a,b);
end

Thank you very much for your time. I confirm this is indeed the functionality that I have been looking for. Additionally I have checked that it can be used for code generation purpose.
