Define this block with Python commands and functions.
The PyCustomBlock block provides a generic interface for specifying the block's
properties and defining its simulation function based on OML commands and functions. The
simulation function is specified in Python code and stored as a block parameter. The
Python code is used during simulation.
-
From the Palette Browser, select . Drag the block into your diagram and double-click it.
The block dialog appears with tabs to define the Ports, States,
Parameters, SimFunction and other advanced properties for the
block.
-
On the Ports tab, enter the number of input and output
ports for the block, enter a name for each port, then click OK.
-
On the States tab, enter the state of the block with
respect to its initial continuous condition, initial state derivative, initial
discrete state, and number of initial object states, then click
OK.
-
On the Parameters tab, enter the number of parameters
for the block. For each parameter, enter a name, value, and type, then click
OK.
-
On the SimFunction tab, generate a code skeleton, enter
the simulation function for your block, then click OK. The skeleton provides the essential
framework for the Python function that handles the interface with inputs,
outputs and events.
-
On the Advanced tab, enter the number of modes and
zero-crossings for the block, select the activation mode: always
active, initially active or
standard, then click OK.
