Hi All,
I'm attempting to put a set of simbiology global sensitivity analysis plots into my thesis and I'm running into some issues with the GSA plots. Firstly, the figures are very large, it would be quite beneficial to grab a set of the plots and arrange them myself, is there any documentation on how to mess around with the '1x1 Sobol' produced by sbiosobol? Or just GSA plots in general.
The second problem is that the results appear to be relative to the most sensitive parameter in that run. Is it recommended to have a resonably sensitive 'baseline' parameter in each run? I find it difficult to compare plots when a not so sensitive parameter is being recorded as near '1' for the whole run because it's being stacked against a set of very insensitive parameters. I.e. if i have multiple sets of GSAs due to a large model, how can I easily compare results? If I could do some single run through with every parameter that would be the ideal, I imagine, but then the default plot would be half a mile off the bottom of my screen, haha! Perhaps there is a solution to the first question that might help there?
Thank you for your help,
Dan
MATLAB Onramp is a free online tutorial and it has been very popular with new MATLAB users to learn how to use it, and MathWorks have been adding more and more modules. The lastest one just dropped https://matlabacademy.mathworks.com/details/power-systems-simulation-onramp/orps
It shows you the basics of power system simulation by modeling a simple microgrid. You will learn how to simulate and measure three-phase circuits, and how to evaluate algorithms like droop control and maximum power point tracking.
Thats the task:
Given a square cell array:
x = {'01', '56'; '234', '789'};
return a single character array:
y = '0123456789'
I wrote a code that passes Test 1 and 2 and one that passes Test 3 but I'm searching a condition so that the code for Test 3 runs when the cell array only contains letters and the one for Test 1 and 2 in every other case. Can somebody help me?
This is my code:
y = []
[a,b]=size(x)
%%TEST 3
delimiter=zeros(1,a)
delimiter(end)=1
delimiter=repmat(delimiter,1,b)
delimiter(end)=''
delimiter=string(delimiter)
y=[]
for i=1:a*b
y = string([y x(i)])
end
y=join(y,delimiter)
y=erase(y,'0')
y=regexprep(y,'1',' ')
%%TEST 1+2
for i=1:a*b
y = string([y x(i)])
y=join(y)
end
y=erase(y,' ' )

That's the question: Given four different positive numbers, a, b, c and d, provided in increasing order: a < b < c < d, find if any three of them comprise sides of a right-angled triangle. Return true if they do, otherwise return false .
I wrote this code but it doesn't pass test 7. I don't really understand why it isn't working. Can somebody help me?
function flag = isTherePythagoreanTriple(a, b, c, d)
a2=a^2
b2=b^2
c2=c^2
d2=d^2
format shortG
if a2+b2==c2
flag=true
else if a2+b2==d2
flag=true
else if a2+c2==d2
flag=true
else if c2+b2==d2
flag=true
else flag=false
end
end
end
end
end
That's the question:
The file cars.mat contains a table named cars with variables Model, MPG, Horsepower, Weight, and Acceleration for several classic cars.
Load the MAT-file. Given an integer N, calculate the output variable mpg.
Output mpg should contain the MPG of the top N lightest cars (by Weight) in a column vector.
I wrote this code and the resulting column vector has the right values but it doesn't pass the tests. What's wrong?
function mpg = sort_cars(N)
load cars.mat
sorted=sortrows(cars,4)
mpg = sorted(1:N,2)

Hi all,
I've translated a model from another piece of software (monolix) into simbio programmatically to make use of your very easy global sensitivity analysis system.
It looks a little something like this, for a 'single' line example:
r1 = addreaction(model,'InsI -> InsP');
r1.ReactionRate = 'InsI*kip/vi'; %- is + panc
k1 = addkineticlaw(r1, 'Unknown');
Multiplied about 20 fold, as you can see I have included my volumes within the reaction rates myself (vi). The model functions perfectly and I have corrected the outputs at the end:
[time, x, names] = sbiosimulate(model,csObj,dObj1);
x(:,1) = x(:,1)/vi;
So that they are in concentration, as needed. However, when it comes to sensitivity analysis because I have corrected them post-model it is technically incorrect, it is analysing the absolute quantities. This is quite noticible in the sensitivity to the volumes.
Is there an easy fix to this, I've had to fight dimensionality with units in the past using simbio and I'd be great if there was some way of dividing a compartment output by a volume, for example. It is a functionality that exists in monolix, so I was hopeful it might here!
Thank you for your time.
EDIT:
I think I've worked it out, I had to refactor my model to operate in concentrations, just refitting it now. Now I should just be able to use unitless compartments.
I am trying to make a simulink model to use a MPC to reduce power consumption of HVAC system in an electric vehicle during cool down from ambient temperature to a set point temperature. Any help regarding this would be appreciated
Hello, an intern working at MathWorks is finishing up his program soon and he would like to interview some MATLAB users. He is looking for people who can give their perspective on the question:
"What makes MATLAB and Simulink special in comparison to other languages?"
Ultimately he plans to condense the answers into 15-second videos or sound bites.
If people are willing to participate but want more time to talk about their experience with MATLAB, he doesn't have time left for in-depth interviews but he can find someone else to take over the project.
Please send me an email via my profle if you are interested.

I am trying to simulate model of blood lymphocyte count from a paper using Simbiology. The rate of in or out following circadian rythym is kp(t)=km + kb cos [(t-tpeak)*2pi/24] Where and how do I write the expression ? I dont think I can write in repeated assignment ?

I recently have found that I am no longer able to give my difficulty rating for questions on Cody after sucessfully completing a question. This is obviously not a big deal, I was just wondering if this was an issue on my end or if there was some change that I was not aware of.
The option to rate does not pop up after solving a problem, and the rating in general does not even show up anymore when answering questions (though it is visible from problem groups).
I am currently facing a compatibility issue when attempting to load a SimBiology model created in MATLAB 2021a into MATLAB 2023a. Specifically, the code capture functionality does not seem to be working.
If anyone has encountered a similar situation or has insights on how to capture the code for a SimBiology model created in an older version of MATLAB, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Are there any alternative methods or specific steps that can be followed to ensure successful code capture?
Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

Hello, Recently I have started working on a thermal management project at my Institute. I am taking some hints from en example of EV thermal management provided by MATLAB. I am having an issue in deciding how the battery current and powertrain heat load is calculated as a function of vehicle speed. It would be helpful if someone could provide some links or references regarding this. (Also, attaching a screenshot of the example for better understanding)
