How can I automate inputs in Simulink Design Optimization (with a Matlab script)

Hi there,

I am currently trying to minimize manual inputs in a simulation model, however I am having trouble implementing this. Currently a Simulink model is called via a script. After that, inputs have to be made which I want to run automatically:

1. Open Response Optimization

1.1 double-click on the "Check Against Reference" block

1.2 press "Response Optimization"

2. Create a new Design Variables Set (always with the same variables)

3. start the Optimization

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything helpful about this topic so far.

Kind Regards,

Niclas

Hi Niclas -

Not sure if this answers your question, but would it help to use the code generation function in Response Optimizer? (After setting up the 'check against reference', your design variables, etc., then clicking the dropdown under "Optimize" on the toolstrip and selecting "Generate MATLAB function"). This would provide you with a code snippet you could add into your main script.

Hope this helps,

Kyle

Hi Niclas -

That's wonderful! Glad I could help :) Out of curiosity, can I ask what methods you tried, or where you looked for help on this issue (including search terms)? It's also totally fine if you came to MATLAB Answers first.

Context - I'm a User Experience Designer at MathWorks, supporting this product, and the discoverability of features like this is super important to my work, so it helps to know why certain features feel "hidden" and where you would have expected to find them.

Any info helps!
