Description
The PS Lookup Table (2D) block computes an
approximation to some function f=f(x1,x2)
given the
x1
, x2
, f
data points. The
two inputs and the output are physical signals.
You define the lookup table by specifying the Table grid vector 1 parameter (vector of data points along the first axis), the Table grid vector 2 parameter (vector of data points along the second axis), and the 2D array of table values (array of output values). The block works on Cartesian mesh, i.e., function values must be specified at vertices of a rectangular array.
The x1
and x2
data vectors must be strictly
monotonic, either increasing or decreasing. The array size of the tabulated function
values must match the dimensions defined by the input vectors. That is, if the inputs
are a 1-by-m
vector and a 1-by-n
vector, supply an
m
-by-n
matrix of output values.
The block generates output based on the input grid lookup using the selected interpolation and extrapolation methods. You have a choice of two interpolation methods and two extrapolation methods. You also have an option for the block to issue an error if any of the input signal values is outside the respective table grid vector range.
Plotting Table Data
Plotting a lookup table lets you visualize the data before simulating the model, to make sure that the table is correct. The plot reflects tabulated data specified for the block, as well as the selected interpolation and extrapolation options.
To plot the data, right-click the block in your model and, from the context menu, select Foundation Library > Plot Table. For more information, see Plot Lookup Tables.
