Data Element Create Array X State Array

Ribbon menu → Elements Tab → Controls Toolkit container → X State Array

(Classic) Build → Controls Toolkit → X State Array

Defines a list of state variables (X) associated with a system element, such as a linear state equation, general state equation, or transfer function. To use this array, you must reference the array name as the state variable array in the system element definition. You can use each X state array with only one system element in your model.

For the option:	Do the following:
Array Name	Enter the name that you want assigned to the array.
Adams ID	Assign a unique ID number to the array. See Adams Solver ID.
Comments	Add any comments about the array to help you manage and identify it. See Comments.
Size	Specify the size of the array. The corresponding system element automatically determines the size of the array and checks it against the size you entered. ■For linear state equation, the X state array size is the row dimension of the A state matrix. ■For transfer functions, the transformation from polynomial ratio type to canonical state space type internally determines the X state array size. ■For general state equations, the X state array size is the state equation count as defined in the general state equation.
