Description

This block is the same as the Check Singular Value Characteristics block except for

different default parameter settings in the Bounds tab.

Compute a linear system from a nonlinear Simulink model and plot the linear system on a

singular value plot.

During simulation, the software linearizes the portion of the model between specified

linearization inputs and outputs, and plots the singular values of the linear system.

The Simulink model can be continuous- or discrete-time or multirate, and can have time

delays. The linear system can be Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) or Multi-Input Multi-

Output (MIMO). For MIMO systems, the plots for all input/output combinations are

displayed.

You can specify piecewise-linear frequency-dependent upper and lower singular value

bounds and view them on the plot. You can also check that the bounds are satisfied during

simulation:

• If all bounds are satisfied, the block does nothing.


• If a bound is not satisfied, the block asserts, and a warning message appears at the
  MATLAB prompt. You can also specify that the block:
