How to learn (or what training is available) timing functions in Simulink Sinscape Electrical?

What Onramp or reading can I do to understand how to make time dependant functions using Simulink? Now I'm making pieces of an electrical system that will be assembled together. How do I ensure the pieces use the desired sampletime and steps (assuming a fixed step system)? Are there functions that can be used to have a function operate in soft realtime? As an example sample this data for 2 second at a rate of 5 samples per second than stop.

Hi @Shane,

Kindly refer to the following resources:

• To understand the Simulink simulation workflow for each time step: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/simulink-concepts-simulation.html
• To sample a block’s output at 5 samples per second, the block’s “Sample Time” parameter can be specified as 0.2 seconds; to specify sample time for a block: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/ug/how-to-specify-the-sample-time.html
• To understand how fixed-step solver utilizes the sample time in a system: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/gui/fixedstepsizefundamentalsampletime.html https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/ug/managing-sample-times-in-systems.html
• To use "Simulink Pacing Options" to pace the simulation to a slower rate that matches with the wall clock rate for real-time simulations: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/simulationpacingoptions.html

More information about your electrical system would be helpful to recommend an Onramp that helps your workflow.

I hope this answers your query.
