Syntax

nanbreak

Description

nanbreak sets or clears a breakpoint that pauses simulation when a NaN or Inf value occurs in the model during a simulation debugging session.

  • If the breakpoint was not set, the command sets the breakpoint.

  • If the breakpoint had been set, the command clears the breakpoint.

The Inf or NaN value breakpoint can help locate and investigate computational issues in your model.

You can use this function in a simulation debugging session started:

  • Interactively, using the Simulink® Toolstrip

  • Programmatically, using the sldebug function

  • Programmatically, using the sim function with the 'debug' name-value argument

Note

This function is available only for simulation debugging sessions started programmatically and for interactive simulation debugging sessions while paused within a time step.

Tips

To start a simulation debugging session interactively, add one or more breakpoints to your model and in the Breakpoints List, check that Pause within time step is selected. When the simulation pauses on a breakpoint, some of the programmatic debugging commands, such as the stop command, are available for use in the MATLAB® Command Window.
