MANAGING DATA in SIMULINK: DATA STORES, DATA DICTIONARY and CUSTOMIZE ENVIRONMENT

by F Marquez

Simulink is a block diagram environment for multidomain simulation and Model-Based Design. It supports system-level design, simulation, automatic code generation, and continuous test and verification of embedded systems. Simulink provides a graphical editor, customizable block libraries, and solvers for modeling and simulating dynamic systems. It is integrated with MATLAB, enabling you to incorporate MATLAB algorithms into models and export simulation results to MATLAB for further analysis. Simulink is a graphical modeling and simulation environment for dynamic systems. You can create block diagrams, where blocks represent parts of a system. A block can represent a physical component, a small system, or a function; an input/output relationship fully characterizes the block. Data stores can be useful when multiple signals at differen levels of a model need the same global values, and connecting all the signals explicitly would clutter the model unacceptably or take too long to be feasible. Data stores are analogous to global variables in programs, and have similar advantages and disadvantages, such as making verification more difficult.A data dictionary is a persistent repository of data that are relevant to your model. You can also use the base workspace to store design data that are used by your model during simulation. However, a data dictionary provides more capabilities. The dictionary stores design data, which define parameters and signals, and include data that define the behavior of the model. The dictionary does not store simulation data, which are inputs or outputs of model simulation that enter and exit Import and Outport blocks.
