Adding New Function Models

A function model is a model that is expressed algebraically.

For example, you might want to view the behavior of torque efficiency. So you create a function model of torque efficiency = torque/peak torque.

To add a function model to your session:

1. Select File -> New -> Function Model.

1. This opens the Function Model Wizard.

2. In the dialog box, enter the formula for your function model. For example, enter torque_efficiency=torque/peak_torque.
3. Press Enter. CAGE checks that the function is recognized; if so, you can click Next >. If the function is incorrectly entered, you cannot click Next.
4. Select the models that you want to import by highlighting the models from the list.
5. Click Next > to select the models.
6. Associate the model factors with the available inputs in your session.

1. For example, to associate the model factor peak_torque with the peak_torque model in your session:

   

   1. Highlight a model factor, peak_torque, in the list on the left and the corresponding model, peak_torque, in the list on the right.
   2. Click the select input button, shown.

      

   3. Repeat 7a and 7b for all the model factors.

7. Click Finish to close the wizard and return you to the Models view.

Note    You can skip steps 6 and 7 by selecting the Automatically assign/create inputs box at step 5.

You can now see a display of the model and its connections.
