Nonlinearity

Model nonlinearity with lookup tables, approximate mathematical functions by mapping input values to output values

If you are new to modeling nonlinearity, first try using a lookup table block. Lookup table blocks use arrays of data to map input values to output values, approximating mathematical functions. To approximate a function in N variables, use the n-D Lookup Table block:

To manage the lookup tables in your environment, consider using the Lookup Table Editor. Watch How to Use the Lookup Table Editor (5min 9sec).

Blocks

1-D Lookup TableApproximate one-dimensional function
2-D Lookup TableApproximate two-dimensional function
Direct Lookup Table (n-D)Index into n-dimensional table to retrieve element, vector, or 2-D matrix
Interpolation Using PrelookupUse precalculated index and fraction values to accelerate approximation of N-dimensional function
Lookup Table DynamicApproximate a one-dimensional function using dynamic table
n-D Lookup TableApproximate n-dimensional function
PrelookupCompute index and fraction for Interpolation Using Prelookup block
Sine, CosineImplement fixed-point sine or cosine wave using lookup table approach that exploits quarter wave symmetry
