###### ----------------- EDIT: I ADDED THE SIMULINK MODEL AND THE MATLAB FILE WHERE i SYNTHESIZED THE DATA
###### ----------------- EDIT2-OBJECTIVE: I'm trying to recreate the model presented in the following paper: here. I'm looking at equation (13) with k=2, and the expressions (D1) and (D2) above it. I'm also using the definition of c'(x) from equation (9) and the definition of η below equation (3).
Hi,
I don't have much experience with simulink, and I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for online, I hope someone might help:
I have a vector x which I pass to simulink from the workspace. Now, I'm trying to implement a used defined function block:
function y = fcn(lambda, x, e1, e2)
if x < sqrt(e1*lambda)
y = sqrt(e1*lambda) - x;
elseif x > sqrt((1/e2)*lambda)
y = sqrt((1/e2)*lambda) - x;
else
y = 0;
end
where lambda is calculated in the simulation in previous block (the computation is correct) and e1, e2 are scalar values of type double. I pass the parameters from the workspace as follows:
x_data.time=t';
x_data.signals.values = x';
e1_data.time=t';
e1vec = repelem(e1, length(x));
e1_data.signals.values = e1vec';
e2_data.time=t';
e2vec = repelem(eta_dis, length(x));
e2_data.signals.values = e2vec';
I get the following error:
Index exceeds array dimensions. Index value 0 exceeds valid range [1-1] for array 'x'.
Error in 'pmp_sim/MATLAB Function' (line 3)
x = x(t);
I thought the a problem is that simulink treats these vectors as one block or something, as I read online, when I try to treat these elements in the function as vectors, meaning:
function y = fcn(lambda, x, e1, e2)
x = x(t);
e1 = e1(t);
e2 = e2(t);
if x < sqrt(e1*lambda)
y = sqrt(e1*lambda) - x;
elseif x > sqrt((1/e2)*lambda)
y = sqrt((1/e2)*lambda) - x;
else
y = 0;
end
where t is the simulation clock, I get the following error:
Domain error. To compute complex results from real x, use 'sqrt(complex(x))'.
Error in sqrt.m (line 13)
coder.internal.error('Coder:toolbox:ElFunDomainError',mfilename);
Error in 'pmp_sim/MATLAB Function' (line 8)
can someone please explain to me how should I treat these vectors that I import to simulink model from workspace?
Thank you for you time and attention.

Hi Elinor,
The error message in the end suggests that Complex number is getting evaluated and root cause cannot be known without model and the data which is passed to it. Could you also share the model and data as well?
Thanks.

Hi Elinor Ginzburg,
As per my understanding, you are facing an error while calculating the square root in a custom function in your Simulink model.
From the attached Simulink model and script, the following errors can be observed:
- The first mentioned error is probably due to the variable "x" being a "struct" and it being indexed. Get the values in "x" using 'dot' and then use indexing (example: "x.values(t)").
- It can be noticed that you are using a "clock" block to get the time instance "t" in your function block, and you are using this "t" for indexing your "pl", "eta_chg" and "eta_dis" variables. The value of "t" can be a non-integer value and will throw the below error when used for indexing. The fix is to use integer values for indexing instead of "t".
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1740261/image.png)
- You are using workspace variables "pl_data", "eta_chg_data", and "eta_dis_data" from workspace in the function block in the Simulink model. These variables are actually "structs" as per the attached script, and they cannot be indexed directly as being done in the function block. Instead, use the "pl", "eta_chg_vec", and "eta_dis_vec" variables, which are also present in the workspace and contain an array of values that can be indexed directly.
- The values in the above-mentioned variable are all positive, as generated by the attached script, whereas the "lambda_star" in the function block may take a negative value. Hence, calculating the square root of (eta_chg * lamda_star) is not possible directly due to the negative product. If you wish to calculate the complex square root, then it is required to typecast the product into complex as shown in the code snippet below:
sqrt(complex(eta_chg*lambda_star))
Hope this helps!
