showContents

View summary of specification in SimulationInput or Simulation object

Syntax

showContents(s)

Description

showContents(s) displays a table that summarizes the simulation specification stored in the Simulink.SimulationInput or Simulation object s.

Examples

View Contents of Simulink.SimulationInput Object

Use the showContents function to view the simulation configuration stored in a Simulink.SimulationInput object.

Open the model.

open_system('ex_sldemo_househeat')

Create a Simulink.SimulationInput object for the model ex_sldemo_househeat.

simIn = Simulink.SimulationInput('ex_sldemo_househeat');

Configure a variable value and model parameter values on the Simulink.SimulationInput object.

simIn = setVariable(simIn,'cost',50);
simIn = setModelParameter(simIn,'Start','0','Stop','50');

View the configuration stored on the Simulink.SimulationInput object.

Input Arguments

s — Simulation specification or simulation

Simulink.SimulationInput object | Simulation object

Simulation specification or simulation, specified as a Simulink.SimulationInput object or a Simulation object.

A SimulationInput object represents a simulation specification that includes the initial state, external inputs, model parameter values, block parameter values, and variable values to use in the simulation.

The Simulation object represents a simulation and provides an interface for controlling and interacting with the simulation.

Version History

Introduced in R2020a

R2024a: View summary of modifications made for simulation that uses Simulation object

The Simulation object represents a simulation and provides an interface to control simulation execution and tune model parameter, block parameter, and variable values during simulation. You can use the showContents function to view a summary of the modifications made to the simulation using the Simulation object, including values specified to override or tune model parameters, block parameters, and variable values.
