MATLAB: What is the relation between Simulink Matlab function block and Simulink time

Question

Dear Matlab community,

I am using Matlab function block in Simulink. I have set the sample time of all other blocks in Simulink as 0.01.

However, I noticed that the matlab function block was called a few times within the 0.01 sample time period. So I have the following two questions:

1. What is the relation between Simulink Matlab function block and Simulink time?

2. How can I control the number of times the Matlab function block is called per simulink time?

Thank you.

Regards, Tan Biru

Answer 1

It turns out that I am able to set the sample time of the Matlab function block itself by: right click the block -> Block Parameters -> Sample time
