MATLAB: Where can I find the “Pause simulation when time reaches” option in R2019b and later

simulink

In R2019a, I was able to pause a Simulink simulation from the Simulation Stepping Options with the option "Pause simulation when time reaches". However, in R2019b, I cannot find this option anymore. Where did it go?

Best Answer

In MATLAB 2019b, the "Pause simulation when time reaches" option has been moved to the Simulink Toolstrip at the following location: DEBUG tab > Breakpoints > Pause Time

MATLAB: Is there a TimeOut option with parsim

It is possible to set the TimeOut option with 'parsim' as well. To do so, you would have to define a Simulink.SimulationInput object first, and then set the TimeOut option through this object.

Any option set with 'sim' and any common model parameters can be defined through the Simulink.SimulationInput object.

Below is an example that shows how to do this using the 'vdp' model:

vdp                                          % Open model vdp
in = Simulink.SimulationInput('vdp')
in = in.setModelParameter('TimeOut', 5)      % Set time out to 5 sec
in = in.setModelParameter('StopTime', 'inf') % Set total simulation time to infinity
out = parsim(in)

MATLAB: Matlab doesn’t “Pause on Error” till Infinite recursion

Try setting a breakpoint on line 237 of wPLI_openfield. When MATLAB reaches that point, it will enter debug mode and the prompt will change to K>>. At this point, check that the fileparts and isrow functions that are being called are the ones written by MathWorks.

which -all fileparts
which -all isrow

This will check if there are fileparts or isrow functions in a directory that wPLI_openfield (or something called before wPLI_openfield) changes to with cd or adds to the path with addpath (but that the code normally changes away from or removes from the path before returning to the Command Prompt) and so were not "visible" to MATLAB when you checked before.

If that doesn't show anything, Walter may still be correct that there is a third-party toolbox interfering. To check this, can you show the list of products displayed when you execute the ver function? That's not foolproof (not all third-party toolboxes do what's needed to show up in ver, but it might show something that we've seen before and recognize as a potential cause.
