FindSystemModelEquilibrium[model]

searches for an equilibrium to the model model.

FindSystemModelEquilibrium[model,{{{x1,x10},…},{{u1,u10},…},{{y1,y10},…}}]

searches for an equilibrium, starting from the points xi=xi0, ui=ui0 and yi=yi0.

FindSystemModelEquilibrium[model,{x1v1,…},…]

searches for an equilibrium, with variable xi constrained to have the value vi etc.

Details and Options

  • FindSystemModelEquilibrium is typically used to find values of states, inputs and outputs for which the dynamics of a system model stop.
  • The model can be a SystemModel object, a full model name string or a shortened model name accepted by SystemModel.
  • FindSystemModelEquilibrium returns a list {{{x1,},…},{{u1,},…},{{y1,},…}}, where , and are the computed equilibrium values for states, inputs and outputs.
  • With no explicit starting point given, SystemModel[model]["GroupedInitialValues"] is used.
  • An equilibrium for a differential algebraic system is a value and such that .
  • FindSystemModelEquilibrium will attempt to find a local equilibrium point. In general, many equilibrium points may exist for a system.
  • The following option can be given:
  • ProgressReporting $ProgressReportingcontrol display of progress
