unit

Return unit associated with simscape.Value array

Since R2021b

Syntax

U = unit(V)

Description

U = unit(V) returns the associated unit of the simscape.Value object, V, as a simscape.Unit object.

Examples

Extract Unit from simscape.Value Object

Create a simscape.Value object:

V = simscape.Value([10 20 30], 'm/s^2')

V = 

    10    20    30

    (m/s^2)

Get the unit of the object:

 U = unit(V)

U = 

    m/s^2

Input Arguments

V — Array of numeric values with unit

simscape.Value object

Array of numeric values with unit, specified as a simscape.Value object.

Example: 10 (m/s^2)

Output Arguments

U — Unit associated with object V

simscape.Unit object

Unit associated with the simscape.Value object, V, returned as a simscape.Unit object. U is a 1x1 unit array.

Version History

Introduced in R2021b

R2024a: Compact display of simscape.Value and simscape.Unit objects

When you place simscape.Value and simscape.Unit objects in table, cell, and structure arrays, the Command Window displays their values and units explicitly if they fit into the available width of the Command Window. For row vectors greater than maximum width, empty vectors, and for single line display of matrices and row vectors, you can still see only the object member dimensions and type.

In previous releases, the value and unit in a simscape.Value object were separated by a colon. Now, the unit is shown in parentheses after the value.
