Simulink/Matlab diference

Hy Is there a way that I can use roots in simulink and get the same result as in matlab? Does simulink use a different compiler than matlab?(I use roots in a matlab embaded function in simulink and get different results than in matlab). Thank you.

Hi Cosmin,

are the differences large (i.e., not "just" roundoff?). What results do you get?

Hi,

The results are almous the same but the last zecimals don't assembly(eg.0.001235876 and 0.001235012) but I use this numbers in an logarithm and the resuls are way different.

Thank You

Simulink uses a different algorithm, and is documented as possibly returning the roots in a different order. So sort() the complex numbers and you should be fine to within roundoff limits (unless the polynomial was badly scaled.)
