Specifying and Configuring an ODE Solver (Simulation Module)
For a given simulation, you specify and configure the ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver by using the Configure Simulation Parameters dialog box. Launch this dialog box by double-clicking the Input Node of the Simulation Loop. This dialog box includes the ODE Solver pull-down list, which you use to specify the ODE solver of a simulation.
 |
Note If the term (variable) appears next to an ODE solver, that solver has a variable step size. The other ODE solvers have a fixed step size. |
Configuring ODE Solver Options
If you specify a variable step-size ODE solver, you can configure the following options:
- Initial Step Size
- Minimum Step Size
- Maximum Step Size
- Relative Tolerance
- Absolute Tolerance
If you specify a fixed step-size ODE solver, you can configure only the Step Size option.

Note If you are running a simulation on a real-time or embedded target, National Instruments recommends you specify a fixed step-size ODE solver. |
