Example - Time Varying Continuous Transfer Function
The stvctf S-function is an example of a time varying continuous transfer function. It demonstrates how to work with the solvers so that the simulation maintains consistency, which means that block maintains smooth and consistent signals for the integrators despite the fact that the equations that are being integrated are changing.

* Abstract:
* Time Varying Continuous Transfer Function block
*
* This S-function implements a continous time transfer function
* whose transfer function polynomials are passed in via the input
* vector. This is useful for continuous time adapative control
* applications.
*
* This S-function is also an example of how to "use banks" to avoid
* problems with computing derivatives when a continuous output has
* discontinuities. The consistency checker can be used to verify that
* your S-function is correct with respect to always maintaining smooth
* and consistent signals for the integrators. By consistent we mean that
* two mdlOutput calls at major time t and minor time t are always the
* same. The consistency checker is enabled on the diagnostics page of the
* simulation parameters dialog box. The update method of this S-function
* modifies the coefficients of the transfer function, which cause the
* output to "jump." To have the simulation work properly, we need to let
* the solver know of these discontinuities by setting
* ssSetSolverNeedsReset and then we need to use multiple banks of
* coefficients so the coefficients used in the major time step output
* and the minor time step outputs are the same. In the simulation loop
* we have:
* Loop:
* o Output in major time step at time t
* o Update in major time step at time t
* o Integrate (minor time step):
* o Consistency check: recompute outputs at time t and compare
* with current outputs.
* o Derivatives at time t
* o One or more Output,Derivative evaluations at time t+k
* where k <= step_size to be taken.
* o Compute state, x
* o t = t + step_size
* End_Integrate
* End_Loop
* Another purpose of the consistency checker is used to verify that when
* the solver needs to try a smaller step_size that the recomputing of
* the output and derivatives at time t doesn't change. Step size
* reduction occurs when tolerances aren't met for the current step size.
* The ideal ordering would be to update after integrate. To achieve
* this we have two banks of coefficients. And the use of the new
* coefficients, which were computed in update, are delayed until after
* the integrate phase is complete.
*
* This block has multiple sample times and will not work correctly
* in a multitasking environment. It is designed to be used in
* a single tasking (or variable step) simulation environment.
* Because this block accesses the input signal in both tasks,
* it cannot specify the sample times of the input and output ports
* (SS_OPTION_PORT_SAMPLE_TIMES_ASSIGNED).
*
* See simulink/src/sfuntmpl_doc.c.
