Event Functions

Customize default model Initialize and terminate methods

Model dynamic startup and shutdown behavior by adding custom routines to the default model initialize and terminate methods. During simulation, control when the methods execute with events. Create functions to reinitialize blocks with initial values.

Blocks

expand all

Custom Routines

Initialize Function	Execute subsystem on model initialize event
Reinitialize Function	Execute subsystem on model or subsystem reinitialize event (Since R2022a)
Reset Function	Execute subsystem on model reset event
Terminate Function	Execute subsystem on model terminate event

Readers and Writers

State Reader	Read a block state
State Writer	Write to a block state
Parameter Writer	Write to block parameter or variable
Data Store Read	Read data from data store
Data Store Write	Write data to data store

Model Settings

Parameter Writer block validation

Option to enable parameter validation globally or locally (Since R2023a)
