Enable decoupled continuous integration

Option to improve simulation performance by decoupling continuous state integration from discrete sample times

Model Configuration Pane: Solver

Description

The Enable decoupled continuous integration configuration parameter controls whether the fastest discrete sample time in the model controls continuous state integration.

In hybrid models, such as cyber-physical systems, that contain both continuous and discrete sample times, enabling this parameter can improve simulation performance when:

  • You simulate the model using a variable-step solver.

  • The fastest discrete sample time in the model is smaller than the value of the Max step size parameter. To check the maximum step size the solver determines when the value of the Max step size parameter is auto, get the value of the CompiledStepSize parameter using the get_param function.

    maxstep = get_param(mdl,"CompiledStepSize");

Settings

off (default) | on
on

Allow the solver to decouple integration of continuous states from discrete sample times in the model.

off

Preserve coupling between integration of continuous states and discrete sample times in the model.
