Linearize airframe model around operating points

This function is not recommended. Use linearizeAirframe instead.

Syntax

linearizeLongitudinalAirframe(modelToAnalyze)

linearizeLongitudinalAirframe(modelToAnalyze,opPoint)

linearizeLongitudinalAirframe(modelToAnalyze,opPoint,generatePlots)

Description

linearizeLongitudinalAirframe(modelToAnalyze) linearizes an airframe model around a specified operating point or operating point specification object and generates an output state-space model that contains only longitudinal states. A Linearize Airframe dialog window prompts you to select an operating point or operating point specification object from the base workspace. If an operating point or operating point specification object does not exist in the base workspace, click the Launch Trim Tool button in the Trim Airframe dialog window. This button starts the Simulink^® Control Design™ Model Linearizer in which you can create the operating point specification object. From this object, the linearizeLongitudinalAirframe function creates the operating point.

linearizeLongitudinalAirframe(modelToAnalyze,opPoint) linearizes an airframe model around the specified operating point object or operating point specification object.

linearizeLongitudinalAirframe(modelToAnalyze,opPoint,generatePlots) displays bode and step plot results of longitudinal linearization.

Examples

Linearize Model While Specifying an Operating Point Specification Object

Linearize the model SkyHoggAnalysisModel and specify an operating point, opTrim. This example starts the flight control analysis template using asbFlightControlAnalysis and trims the model around the opSpecDefault operating point specification object. It then linearizes the airframe model around the opTrim operating point and calculates the short- and long-period (phugoid) mode characteristics of linSys.

asbFlightControlAnalysis('3DOF', 'SkyHoggAnalysisModel');
opSpecDefault = SkyHogg3DOFOpSpec('SkyHoggAnalysisModel');
opTrim = trimAirframe('SkyHoggAnalysisModel', opSpecDefault);
linSys = linearizeLongitudinalAirframe('SkyHoggAnalysisModel', opTrim)
flyingQual = computeLongitudinalFlyingQualities('SkyHoggAnalysisModel', linSys)

Input Arguments
