Problem in Model predictive controller for DC-DC converter Plant model cannot be a pure direct feed-through system without additional dynamics

Hi
I am designing a model predictive controller for the DC-DC converter. I have developed a DC-DC converter in the matlab simulink. I have connected approprietly MPC controller with DC-DC converter. However, when I am designing the MPC controller in MPC desginer and using define and linearize the plant model, i am receving an error "Plant model cannot be a pure direct feed-through system without additional dynamics"
I am attaching the snapshot of my simulation and error.
I am not able to identifiy the mistake.

Hi I had the same issue. I solved specifying the proper MV and MO signals. Honestly I cannot understand if you choosed the correct signal, but I suggest to try all the signals and hope it works.

Mmmmm... I don't know. In your position I would change the MPC with a NLMPC
Hi guys, you can't use the MPC tool for a model with real elements, like an inductor, resistance, MOSFET..etc, in this case, you should build MPC as a function block (m-file ) including the state-space model and function model, the output signal of this block is generated according to all probabilities of (on/off) switches in the circuit (Mosfet).

hi kuldeep
have you solved the problem of MPC implementation on boost converter? I am also facing the same problem
