Recommendations for the simulations: In the
Simulink
window, select
Simulation/Model Configuration Parameters.
A configuration window opens, select
Commonly Used Parameters and
Data Import/Export. Then, in Format,
select Array.
Also, uncheck Single simulation output.
Be sure to convert deg to rad and rpm to rad/s (and vice-versa) when needed. In particular, the angles of cos and sin functions in Matlab must be expressed in rad.
Recommendations for the preparation of reports can be found at: http://www.ece.utah.edu/~bodson/reports.pdf Example of a Matlab macro to plot a figure with adjustable font sizes and lines widths: http://www.ece.utah.edu/~bodson/plot_sine.m Note that properties of an existing figure can also be adjusted by clicking on File/Preferences/Figure Copy Template and Apply to Figure.
