Number of consecutive zero crossings

Description

Specify the number of consecutive zero crossings that can occur before Simulink^® software displays a warning or an error.

Category: Solver

Settings

Default: 1000

Simulink software counts the number of consecutive zero crossings that it detects. If the count exceeds the specified value, Simulink software displays either a warning or an error as specified by the Consecutive zero-crossings violation diagnostic (see Consecutive zero-crossings violation).
Simulink software defines zero crossings as consecutive if the time between events is less than a particular interval (see Time tolerance).

Tips

If your model experiences excessive zero crossings, you can increase this parameter to increase the threshold at which Simulink software triggers the Consecutive zero-crossings violation diagnostic. This may afford your model's behavior more time to recover.
Simulink software resets the counter each time it detects nonconsecutive zero crossings; therefore, decreasing the relative tolerance value may also afford your model's behavior more time to recover.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set the solver Type to Variable-step and set Zero-crossing control to either Use local settings or Enable all.
