Description

The ContStateSpace block realizes a continuous-time linear state-space system.

The system is defined by the A,B,C,D matrices and the initial state vector x0.

The system is xdot = Ax + bu and y = Cx + du where x (size n) is the vector of the state variables, u is the vector of inputs (size m) and y (size r) is the vector of outputs.

Parameters

ContStateSpace_0

NameLabelDescriptionData TypeValid Values

A

A matrix

real nxn matrix where n is the number of states, default value: 1.

Matrix

B

B matrix

real nxm matrix where n is the number of states and m is the number of inputs, default value: 1. B=[ ] if block has no input.

Matrix
