Common Warnings (Control Design and Simulation Module)

If the Simulation Model Converter cannot find a value for a parameter in the .mdl file it is converting, LabVIEW displays a warning. In these cases, the Simulation Model Converter uses the default value of the parameter in the corresponding LabVIEW function.

Note  In some cases, the Simulation Model Converter cannot find a value for a parameter because the parameter contains an expression instead of a constant value. If the MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB® software is installed on the computer, the Simulation Model Converter attempts to evaluate the MATLAB software expressions in the .mdl file prior to converting the file. If the Simulation Model Converter successfully evaluates the expression, the Simulation Model Converter uses the result of that evaluation as the parameter value and does not produce a warning.

The Simulation Model Converter cannot fully convert all functions of every model to LabVIEW block diagram code. If the Simulation Model Converter encounters a block it cannot convert, you receive a warning. In these cases, the Simulation Model Converter creates a placeholder simulation subsystem. You must create a simulation subsystem using a LabVIEW VI to accomplish the same functionality as the block to replace this placeholder simulation subsystem.

Because LabVIEW is strict about data types, the converted simulation subsystem might have broken wires. In this case, add block diagram code to convert between converted data types.
