MATLAB AND MODELSIM LINKING

(For the link to work, Modelsim has to be invoked from the command prompt of MATLAB.

For this purpose, MATLAB needs to know the location of MODELSIM)

>> configuremodelsim

Identify the ModelSim installation to be configured for MATLAB and Simulink

Do you want configuremodelsim to locate installed ModelSim executables [ y ] / n ? y

Select a ModelSim installation to be configured:

[1] C:\Modeltech_5.7d\win32 ModelSim SE 5.7d

[0] None

Select ModelSim installation to be configured: 1

Previous MATLAB startup file found in this installation of ModelSim:

C:\Modeltech_5.7d\win32\..\tcl\ModelSimTclFunctionsForMATLAB.tcl

Do you want to replace this file [y]/n? y

ModelSim successfully configured to be used with MATLAB and Simulink

(Step 1)

(Step 2)

(Step 3)

(Step 4)

1. Open ModelSim in Matlab main window to make the communication

>> configuremodelsim

Example-2 Filter Design

• Its fourth order low pass filter:

A second-order low-pass filter is designed with

bandwidth 5Hz and damping ratio 1.0

• The continuous transfer function of the second order low

pass filter is:

Example-2 Filter Design

After the bilinear transform with sampling time 0.01,

its discrete transfer function is

Difference equation after Q15 format: (y(n)*32768, or x(n)*32768)

Y(n)= 95486*Y(n-1) – 104366*Y(n-2) + 50692*Y(n-3) - 9234*Y(n-4) +

11*X(n) + 44*X(n-1) + 67*X(n-2) + 44*X(n-3) + 11*X(n-4)

Where x(n) are inputs and y(n) are outputs
