Nonlinear.Tests.VariableLimiter

Test harness for the VariableLimiter block.

A sine (amplitude 2, frequency 1) is limited by two configurations, both driven by the same source:

• vl_tv — time-varying upper limit: limit1 is a ramp falling from 1.5 to 0.5 over one second, limit2 is a constant -1. This exercises the "variable" aspect: the upper clamp boundary moves during the run, so the saturated output tracks the ramping limit rather than a fixed value.

• vl_const — constant symmetric limits limit1 = +1, limit2 = -1 (the MSL baseline). Output passes through while |u| <= 1 and clamps to +/-1 outside.

limit1 >= limit2 holds at all times in both cases (the block asserts this).
