Details and Options
- WSMSimulateSensitivity returns a WSMSimulationData object.
- The "mmodel" refers to the fully qualified Modelica name.
- WSMSimulateSensitivity generates solutions
for all variables
, as well as derivatives
,
, … for all states
, for
.
- Sensitivities can be listed in a WSMSimulationData object sd with sd["SensitivityNames"].
- The shortest unique model name mmodel can be used where WSMNames["*.mmodel"] gives a unique match.
- The stored simulation variables vars can have the following values:
-
Automatic automatically choose what to store {v1,v2,…} store only variables vi All store all variables - The following options can be given:
-
InterpolationOrder Automatic continuity degree of output between events WSMInitialValues Automatic overriding initial values WSMInputFunctions Automatic overriding input values WSMParameterValues Automatic overriding parameter values WSMProgressMonitor Automatic control display of progress - The option setting Automatic normally means that the setting is taken from "mmodel" or its experiment setting.
- Setting WSMParameterValues or WSMInitialValues to {pi->{c1,c2,…},…} runs simulations in parallel, with pi taking values cj.
- WSMInitialValues corresponds to the start property in the Modelica model.
- WSMInputFunctions->{"var1"->fun1,…} uses funi[t] as the input value for vari at time t.
- The CVODES solver used can be controlled with Method->{"opt1"->val1}.
- Possible suboptions for the CVODES method include:
-
"InterpolationPoints" Automatic number of interpolation points "Tolerance" 106 tolerance for adaptive step size
