Run-Time Parameters

Speed up simulation tasks and modify parameter values without regenerating C code

Simscape™ run-time parameters are coded as variables with values that you can change before or between simulations without recompiling the model. Because they do not require model recompiling, parameter sweeps using run-time parameters help improve your efficiency during model development and real-time simulation.
