MATLAB: Is it possible to estimate the Transport Delay within a Simulink model using the Simulink Design Optimization toolbox

Question

I have a Simulink model and am using the Simulink Design Optimization toolbox to estimate parameters within the Transfer Fcns in the model. I would ideally also like to estimate the Transport Delay value as one of my parameters. I have searched for such a possiblity and coming up empty.

Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, how can I go about importing the Transport Delay as one of my parameters to estimate?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can set the delay in the transport to a workspace variable. You can then bring the workspace variable into the optimization as a parameter using Design or Uncertain Variable Set.
