I have a non-linear Simulink model of a dynamic system. When I linearize the model using the function "linearize" at an operating point (trim), I get a state space system with 30 states. That is expected because my model indeed has 30 states. But not all these states have significant dynamic effects on the linearized model, my use case, and the input/output (I/O) of the system. What is the best way to remove the unwanted states from my state space model and reduce it to the necessary 12 states that are significant for my system dynamics?
