MATLAB: How to get data into the Powergui block in SimPowerSystems

I am unable to find documentation that describes how to get data from my system into the Powergui block.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

Documentation on the Powergui block is missing from SimPowerSystems.

To work around this issue, follow the steps below.

You need to have a "Structure with time" created when the simulation completes. These structures are generated by the Scope or To Workspace blocks in your model. For an example, review the demo model power_transfosat. You can also review the documentation on the Scope or To Workspace blocks for directions on creating a structure with time data output.

MATLAB: Does the “power_battery” link from Battery block in SimPowerSystems documentation take me to the “power_breaker” model instead in SimPowerSystems 5.1 (R2009a)

This change has been incorporated into the documentation in Release 2010a (R2010a). For previous releases, read below for any additional information:

This is a bug in the documentation for SimPowerSystems 5.1 (R2009a). To open the correct model type

MATLAB: Do I receive an error message about “inductive cutsets” when I try to run the simulation that includes SimPowerSystems 4.1 (R14SP3) blocks

This bug has been fixed in Release 2007b (R2007b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The error is due to the fact that the inductance of the AC machine is connected directly in series with the source inductance in the 3-Phase Source block. In order to resolve this error you will need to put large resistors at the machine terminals (i.e. shunt resistors between phases and the ground) or eliminate the source inductance.

To eliminate the source inductance, you can open the 3-Phase Source block dialog and set the "Source Inductance" value to be 0. Alternatively, you can use a 3-Phase Programmable Voltage block instead of the 3-Phase Source block.

A revised error message has been introduced in SimPowerSystems 4.2 (R2006a) that is more clear, and explains how to avoid this issue.
