To File block with rapid accelerator

I am trying to deploy a simulink model as an application to perform multiple simulations. See Matlab Example

My model generates an output file using a To File block and I would like to set the output file name using an input parameter of the function executing the simulation.

This has worked perfectly for constant and gain blocks but the FileName parameter of my To File block does not seem affected when I use "setVariable" to give the desired name.

simObject = Simulink.SimulationInput('model');

simObject = simObject.setVariable('fileName','desiredName.mat');

simObject = simulink.compiler.configureForDeployment(simObject);

out = sim(simObject)

What I get instead is a file named "fileName.mat", which is the variable which I want to use as a changing parameter.

Any ideas why it is not working?

Hi,  

As per my understanding you want to change the file name of the file to which your output file is being saved from the “To File” block. Using “FileName” in the parameter instead of 'fileName' will work. You can use the file name as you want. The following code snippet may help. 

%Code Section 

simObject = Simulink.SimulationInput('model'); 

simObject = simObject.setVariable('FileName','desiredName.mat'); 

simObject = simulink.compiler.configureForDeployment(simObject); 

out = sim(simObject); 

Please refer to the following documentation for more information

I hope it helps! 

Thanks.

ugh such a small thing.....

Thank you :P
