Permanent openings,
used by the slLinearizer
and slTuner
interfaces,
identify locations within a model where the software breaks the signal
flow. The software enforces these openings for linearization and tuning.
Use permanent openings to isolate a specific model component. Suppose
that you have a large-scale model capturing aircraft dynamics and
you want to perform linear analysis on the airframe only. You can
use permanent openings to exclude all other components of the model.
Another example is when you have cascaded loops within your model
and you want to analyze a specific loop.
Location refers to a specific block output
port within a model. For convenience, you can use the name of the
signal that originates from this port to refer to an opening.
You can add permanent openings to an slLinearizer
or slTuner
interface, s
,
when you create the interface or by using the addOpening
command. To remove a location
from the list of permanent openings, use the removeOpening
command.
To view all the openings of s
, type s
at
the command prompt to display the interface contents. For each permanent
opening of s
, the display includes the block name
and port number and the name of the signal that originates at this
location. You can also programmatically obtain a list of all the permanent
loop openings using getOpenings
.
