To my understanding, you want to know whether calling 'divideFcn' uses a part of the input (here 'x') for the training and then another part of the input (here 'x') when calling the 'sim' function for simulating neural network.
'sim' function seems to work differently. It does not take into account the division of the data (specified by divideFcn). That division of data is only used for dividing data into training data, validating data, and testing data respectively.
When you call sim function then it will use the whole input for simulating the neural network.
For example,
a11=sim(net1,x);
here, 'sim' will simulate the neural network for the whole input i.e. for whole 'x'.
If you want to simulate the neural network only for testing data then you have to explicitly pass the testing data as input to sim function.
