Topics

Supported Design Requirements

Time-domain and frequency-domain requirements.

Specify Time-Domain Design Requirements in the App

Specify time-domain requirements such as lower and upper amplitude bounds, step response bounds, reference signals, elliptical bounds, and custom bounds.

Specify Variable Requirements in the App

Specify monotonic, smoothness, and relational constraints on variables in your model.

Specify Frequency-Domain Design Requirements in the App

Specify frequency-domain requirements, such as gain and phase margin bounds, closed-loop peak response bounds, step-response bounds, and custom bounds.

Specify Custom Requirements in the App

This topic shows how to specify custom requirements in the Response Optimizer.

Move Constraints
