Syntax

linearizeOutput(model,RegionType,RegionID)
linearizeOutput(model,RegionType,RegionID,"Component",xyz)
output = linearizeOutput(___)

Description

linearizeOutput(model,RegionType,RegionID) adds all degrees of freedom (DoFs) associated with the region defined by RegionType and RegionID to the output vector of the linearized model. For 3-D structural models, linearizeOutput adds all x-coordinates first, then all y-coordinates, then all z-coordinates. In the linearized model sys, use sys.OutputGroup to locate the sections associated with each coordinate.

Use linearizeInput and linearizeOutput together with the linearize function to extract sparse linear models from structural and thermal models.

example

linearizeOutput(model,RegionType,RegionID,"Component",xyz) specifies which of the coordinates to include.

example

output = linearizeOutput(___) returns a structure array output with the linearization output description. Use this syntax with any of the previous arguments.

Specify the regions of a 2-D thermal model for which linearize extracts sparse linear models used in Control System Toolbox™.

Create a transient thermal model.

thermalmodel = createpde("thermal","transient");

Add the block geometry to the thermal model by using the geometryFromEdges function. The geometry description file for this problem is called crackg.m.

geometryFromEdges(thermalmodel,@crackg);

Plot the geometry, displaying edge labels.

pdegplot(thermalmodel,"EdgeLabels","on")

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains 9 objects of type line, text.

Generate a mesh.

generateMesh(thermalmodel);

Specify the thermal conductivity, mass density, and specific heat of the material.

thermalProperties(thermalmodel,"ThermalConductivity",1, ...

                               "SpecificHeat",1);

Specify the temperature on the left edge as 100, and constant heat flow to the exterior through the right edge as -10. Add a unique label to each boundary condition.

thermalBC(thermalmodel,"Edge",6,"Temperature",100,"Label","TempBC");
thermalBC(thermalmodel,"Edge",1,"HeatFlux",-10,"Label","FluxBC");

Specify that the entire geometry generates heat and add a unique label to this assignment.

internalHeatSource(thermalmodel,25,"Label","HeatSource");

Set an initial value of 0 for the temperature.

thermalIC(thermalmodel,0);

Call the linearizeInput function with the previously defined labels for the boundary conditions and the internal heat source to set the inputs for the linearize function. Add one label per function call.

linearizeInput(thermalmodel,"HeatSource");
linearizeInput(thermalmodel,"TempBC");
linearizeInput(thermalmodel,"FluxBC");

Call the linearizeOutput function to specify the regions for which you want linearize to extract sparse linear models. Specify one region per function call.

linearizeOutput(thermalmodel,"Edge",2)
ans = struct with fields:
    RegionType: 'Edge'
      RegionID: 2

Specify which of the x-, y-, and z- coordinates to include in a linearized model.

Create a structural transient analysis model.

structuralmodel = createpde("structural","transient-solid");

Import and plot the tuning fork geometry.

Specify Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and the mass density to model linear elastic material behavior. Specify all physical properties in consistent units.

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Geometry with Face Labels contains 6 objects of type quiver, text, patch, line.

Impose sufficient boundary constraints to prevent rigid body motion under applied loading. Typically, you hold a tuning fork by hand or mount it on a table. As a simplified approximation of this boundary condition, fix a region near the intersection of the tines and the handle (faces 21 and 22).

structuralBC(structuralmodel,"Face",[21,22],"Constraint","fixed");

Specify the pressure loading on a tine as a short rectangular pressure pulse.
