Examples
Use ashow to Find Algebraic Loops in the Simulink Debugger
This example shows you how to find algebraic loops and step through a simulation in the Simulink Debugger.
Highlight algebraic loops during debugging
Open the ex_sldemo_hydcyl model Start the Simulink debugger. Select Debug > Breakpoints List > Debug Model from the toolstrip. You can also start the debugger from the MATLAB command line using sldebug
sldebug('ex_sldemo_hydcyl');
Run the debugger. In the MATLAB command prompt, enter:
ashow
Found 1 Algebraic loop(s): System number#Algebraic loop id, number of blocks in loop - 0#1, 9 blocks in loop
The ashow command returns the algebraic loops in the model as well as the number of blocks contained within.
Find algebraic loops containing selected block
Select any nonvirtual block in the model. For example, select the PlotResults block, which is a Scope block.
In the MATLAB command prompt, enter
ashow gcb
Block sldemo_hydcyl/PlotResults isn't in an algebraic loop.
The PlotResults block does not belong in any algebraic loop.
In the MATLAB command prompt, enter
ashow gcb
- sldemo_hydcyl/Valve//Cylinder//Piston//Spring Assembly/Control Valve Flow/IC - sldemo_hydcyl/Valve//Cylinder//Piston//Spring Assembly/Control Valve Flow/signed sqrt - sldemo_hydcyl/Valve//Cylinder//Piston//Spring Assembly/Control Valve Flow/Product - sldemo_hydcyl/Valve//Cylinder//Piston//Spring Assembly/laminar flow pressure drop - sldemo_hydcyl/Valve//Cylinder//Piston//Spring Assembly/Sum7 - sldemo_hydcyl/Pump/IC - sldemo_hydcyl/Valve//Cylinder//Piston//Spring Assembly/Control Valve Flow/Sum1 (algebraic variable) - sldemo_hydcyl/Pump/Sum1 - sldemo_hydcyl/Pump/leakage (algebraic variable)
The laminar flow pressure drop block is contained in an algebraic loop with 8 other blocks.
