Start time

Description

Specify the start time for the simulation or generated code as a double-precision value, scaled to seconds.

Category: Solver

Settings

Default: 0.0

  • A start time must be less than or equal to the stop time. For example, use a nonzero start time to delay the start of a simulation while running an initialization script.

  • The values of block parameters with initial conditions must match the initial condition settings at the specified start time.

  • Simulation time is not the same as clock time. For example, running a simulation for 10 seconds usually does not take 10 seconds. Total simulation time depends on factors such as model complexity, solver step sizes, and computer speed.
