Thermal Model Settings

Purpose

Configure settings for an individual thermal model.

Library

Thermal / Model Settings

Description

The Thermal Model Settings block lets you configure parameter settings that influence the code generation for a particular thermal system, see also Code Generation for Physical Systems.

The block affects the thermal system that it is attached to by its terminal. At most one Model Settings block may be attached to an individual state-space system. All thermal models within an atomic subsystem are combined into a single common state-space system.

Parameters

Matrix coding style

This setting allows you to specify the format used for storing the state-space matrices for a physical model. When set to sparse, only the non-zero matrix entries and their row and column indices are stored. When set to full, matrices are stored as full \(m \times n\) arrays. When set to full (inlined), the matrices are additionally embedded in helper functions, which may enable the compiler to further optimize the matrix-vector-multiplications at the cost of increased code size.
