Hi German,
It is hard to diagnose the issue without having your model. I recommend you submit a help reuquest to MathWorks technical support, they will be able to help you.

> Arkadiy, thanks for your help. I don't think that that's the problem. I am not using an m file to do the optimization. When you use the Simulink Parameter Estimation tool, I don't know if I could do what you say. I think it's standardized and automatically save the parameter values. Moreover, In the window of this tool you can see the values of all the parameters after the estimation, and I have checked them in the workspace of Matlab and were all the same. I think the problem is in the visualization of this tool (Simulink Parameter Estimation), but as I said before, I tried with a simpler model and it functioned perfectly!!!

I am using the Simulink Parameter Estimation tool to estimate 15 parameters. The problem I have is that when the tool finishes the estimation process the fit is great, but when I run the simulation again the fit is not the same. I don't know why this happens. I've tried using different solvers with different step sizes and different optimization algorithms and it's always the same. I have used this tool before with a simpler model (just 3 parameters) and the fit was excelent and it functioned perfectly.

Arkadiy, I realized where the problem was. My model has integrators with external initialization. These initializations are a function of some of the parameters I was estimating. I thought that this tool had that into account. It seems like when the estimation process starts, it uses all the time the same initialization in all of the integrators, and in my case these changed as the parameters values were changing. I don't know if you have understood anything of what I explained. Anyway, thank you a lot for your advice. I hope this would be useful for anyone else.

Cheers!

German.
