Within the ODE function, I compute the control inputs as u=-K*x, where x is the system states and K is a constant matrix. x can be solved by calling ode solver, like ode45. But my question is, how can I get "u"?

Hi Torsten:

Thanks for your reply. I understand that's one way to retrieve the parameter inside ODE, however, for my real application, I generate a random value inside the ODEfunction. I cannot retrieve the parameter after running the ODE solver since I cannot get the exactly the same random value in my runfile.

I also tried using a counter inside the ODE solver. The weird thing is, the length of the counter is not the same as the length of the time step. How come this happens?

Thanks.
