The Cosimulation Workflow
Follow the workflow below to set up the cosimulation with COMSOL Multiphysics and Simulink:
1
Set up and save the COMSOL model and make sure that the study intended for the cosimulation runs. For requirements and recommendations on the COMSOL model see Before You Start.
2
Add the Cosimulation for Simulink feature node to the COMSOL model. Use this to define the inputs, outputs, and study for the cosimulation, see Configuring and Exporting the Cosimulation File.
3
From the Cosimulation for Simulink feature node export the cosimulation file. Any location will work, but it is good practice to export this file to the location where the MPH file has been saved.
4
Create or load the simulation diagram in Simulink, and add the COMSOL Cosimulation block, see Adding a Cosimulation Block in Simulink.
5
Double-click the COMSOL Cosimulation block, and enter the name of the cosimulation file exported from COMSOL Multiphysics.
6
Run the cosimulation in Simulink.
Optionally save the model and postprocess it in the COMSOL Desktop, see After the Cosimulation.
