Requirements

The tool ODESCA has been developed using MATLAB R2016a. Therefore, the correct functionality of the tool is not guaranteed for older MATLAB releases.

Required licenses

  • MATLAB (R2016a or later)
  • Control System Toolbox
  • Symbolic Math Toolbox

The base tool will work with these three licenses. However, there are some functions which require the following additional software.

Optional software

  • MATLAB/Simulink
  • MikTeX (tested for v.2.9)

Installation

The installation is accomplished as follows.

  1. Download the latest release.

  2. Unzip the package to a location your choice.

  3. Start MATLAB and run the file addODESCAPaths.m located in the just unzipped folder. On a clean run the command window should look like this:

>> addODESCAPaths
Symbolic math toolbox license has been checked out successfully.
Control system toolbox license has been checked out successfully.
Pathes added.
Version of ODESCA: v1.0
>>

At this point ODESCA is ready to use.

4a. The required ODESCA pathes are now added to the MATLAB search path for the current session. If you wish to install ODESCA permanently, you should save the MATLAB search path now by using the command savepath.

4b. Another option might be the creation of a Command Shortcut (Favorite Commands since R2018a) to add ODESCA smartly in future sessions. The following callback will do:

run('your_chosen_location\addODESCAPaths.m');

Examples and more information how to use ODESCA can be found in the Getting Started section.
