For example, you can use function handles as input arguments to functions that evaluate mathematical expressions over a range of values. Matlab modeling and simulation tutorial department of statistics. Functions are equivalent to subroutines or methods in other programming languages. Many elements of block diagrams are available such as transfer functions, summing junctions, etc. Usually, in order to edit the matlab function blocks code, one has to open the block by doubleclicking on it then entering the new code. When you do not need to save data between iterations, you can write the output function as a function file and call the optimization function directly from the command line. A typical use of function handles is to pass a function to another function. Each enumerated value consists of an enumerated name and an underlying integer which the software uses internally and in generated code before you begin to use enumerations in a modeling context, you should. Using function caller blocks, you can call a function from anywhere in a model or chart hierarchy.
