Solver Arrays Panel

Use the Solver Arrays panel to create solver arrays and set solver array data. Solver array types include X array, Y array, U array, IC array, Plant Input array, and Plant Output array.

Solver Arrays panel

type X solver array	Used as the state variable array for systems modeling elements of Control_StateEqn (MotionSolve), GSE and LSE (Adams), and TFSISO. See Comments below.
type Y solver array	A type Y solver array defines the output array for system modeling elements of LSE, GSE, and TFSISO. See Comments below.
plant input solver array	Describes the signals that the mechanical system receives from the controller.
plant output solver array	Describes the signals that the mechanical system sends to the controller.
type U solver array	Groups sets of variables. Generally used as an Input Array for Control_StateEqn (MotionSolve)/GSE (Adams).
type IC solver array	A type IC solver array can be used as a general array in order to pass data into user subroutines. Arrays of type IC are also used to set the initial conditions for the Control_StateEqn (MotionSolve)/GSE (Adams) and LSE statements.

Comments:

1.	Control_StateEqn for MotionSolve or GSE for Adams can now be modeled using the Control State Equation Entity.

2.	This entity implicitly creates the X and Y solver arrays. T here is no need to define these arrays separately if using the Control State Equation entity.

The Solver Arrays panel contains the following tabs:

Properties

Values

User-Defined

1.	From the Project Browser, select the system to which the solver array is to be added.

2.	Right-click on a system folder folder in the Project Browser and select Add Control Entity > Solver Array from the context menu.

-	Right-click on a solver array folder in the Project Browser and select Add Solver Array from the context menu.

-	Right-click the Solver Array button on the Control toolbar.

The Add Solver Array dialog is displayed.

3.	The parent system name is displayed in the System field.

4.	Assign a label to the solver array in the Label field.

The solver array label can be changed at any time.

5.	Assign a variable name to the solver array in the Variable field.

The variable name is required and cannot be changed after it is defined.

6.	Click Apply.

Click OK.
