State Space

 

The State Space block implements a state-space system which is defined by

 

 

where, x is the state vector, u is the input signal vector, y is the output signal vector, A, B, C, D are matrix coefficients of the system.

Parameters

Parameter(s)

Description

A, B, C, D

Display the matrix coefficients of the system.

Initial condition

Displays the initial condition for the state vector.

Abs tolerance

Enter the value for the Absolute tolerance.

     If the Abs tolerance is inputted as -1, the value defined in the Simulation Parameter dialog box is used.

     If the Abs tolerance is inputted as a value, this value is used instead of the value defined in the Simulation Parameter dialog box.

Import large scale State Matrix

When a State Matrix file made by RecurDyn/Linear is very large, this option does not display the data for A, B, C, D.

State Matrix Import

Displays the data in A, B, C, D after reading a State Matrix file made by RecurDyn/Linear.
