Syntax

simulate(testcase,model)
simulate(testcase,siminput)
simulate(testcase,Name=Value)

Description

simout = simulate(testcase,model) simulates the specified model and returns a Simulink.SimulationOutput object.

example

simout = simulate(testcase,siminput) simulates using a Simulink.SimulationInput object as the siminput.

example

simout = simulate(testcase,Name=Value) simulates the model with additional options specified by one or more Name=Value arguments.

example

Input Arguments

expand all

Instance of the test case, specified as an sltest.TestCase object.

Name of the model to simulate, specified as a scalar string or character vector, without the model extension. For example, for the myModel.slx model, enter only myModel.

Input object to simulate, specified as a sltest.harness.SimulationInput or Simulink.SimulationInput object.

Name-Value Arguments

expand all

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: InFolder="C:\matlab\myTest"

Name of folder that contains the model to simulate, specified as a string or character vector.

Name of the harness to simulate, specified as a string or character vector.

Note

You can use the sim function name-value arguments with the simulate method.

Output Arguments

Simulation results, returned as a Simulink.SimulationOutput object.
