xcos_simulate

Function for running xcos simulation in batch mode

Syntax

[Info, status]=xcos_simulate(scs_m, needcompile)

Arguments

scs_m: A diagram data structure (see scs_m structure).

needcompile: An integer. If it equals 4, then the simulator will perform a complete compilation of the diagram. If not, it will use cached value of %cpr. DEPRECATED
status: A boolean. %T if simulation is successful, %f if simulation fails.

Description

This function is used to simulate xcos diagrams in batch mode. It requires the scs_m structure which can be obtained by loading in Scilab the .zcos file (see importXcosDiagram ).

User can also define pre_xcos_simulate function that will run before simulation.

function continueSimulation=pre_xcos_simulate(scs_m, needcompile)
// Do nothing
continueSimulation = %t;
endfunction
If this function fails the error will be trapped and the simulation aborted. If continueSimulation is set to false, the simulation will stop.

User can also define post_xcos_simulate function that will run after simulation.

function post_xcos_simulate(%cpr, scs_m, needcompile)
// Do Nothing
endfunction
If this function fails the error will be trapped.

Examples

The xcos diagram in SCI/modules/xcos/demos/batch_simulation.zcos.

Simulate this diagram in batch mode and change some context values.
importXcosDiagram("SCI/modules/xcos/demos/batch_simulation.zcos")

typeof(scs_m) //The diagram data structure

//This diagram uses 3 context variables :
//  Amplitude : the sin function amplitude
//  Pulsation : the sin function pulsation
//  Tf        : the final simulation time
scs_m.props.context //the embedded definition

//first batch simulation with the parameters embedded in the diagram
xcos_simulate(scs_m, 4);

// Change the final time value
scs_m.props.context = ["Amplitude=2" "Pulsation=3" "Tf=10"];
xcos_simulate(scs_m, 4);

// Now Change pulsation
scs_m.props.context = ["Amplitude=2" "Pulsation=9" "Tf=10"];
xcos_simulate(scs_m, 4);
//get the variable created by the "from workspace block"
counter

Statistic analysis of the diagram using pre_xcos_simulate function.

importXcosDiagram("SCI/modules/xcos/demos/batch_simulation.zcos")

typeof(scs_m) //The diagram data structure

// Declare pre_xcos_simulation to only analyze Diagram.

function continueSimulation=pre_xcos_simulate(scs_m, needcompile)
    // Retrieve all objects
    objs = scs_m.objs;

    links = 0;
    blocks = 0;
    other = 0;
    // Count Links and Blocks
    for i = 1:size(objs)
        currentType = typeof(objs(i));
        select (currentType)

            blocks = blocks + 1;
        else
