Normalize using nominal values

Option to specify whether to scale the system based on nominal values

Model Configuration Pane: Simscape

Description

Nominal values provide a way to specify the expected magnitude of a variable in a model, similar to specifying a transformer rating, or setting a range on a voltmeter. Using system scaling based on nominal values increases the simulation robustness.

Settings

on (default) | off

Using system scaling based on nominal values is a best practice for Simscape™ models because it improves simulation robustness. Therefore, when you create a new model, scaling by nominal values is enabled by default.

On

Applies scaling by nominal values. To view, add, and edit the value-unit pairs for the model, click the Specify nominal values button.

Off

Does not apply scaling by nominal values.
