How to use user defined .mat file with multiple datatypes as input to simulink function block?

I have .mat file with multiple datatypes and structure. Can I use this .mat file as an input parameter to the MATLAB simulink function block as it is? The data has been generated from continuous time identified state space model (idss format)

What exactly is the problem? Do you want to use the file as input, the file name or the contents of the file?

I want to use file as input

[Jan]

Please think twice: A file name or the contents of the file?

"The data has been generated from continuous time identified state space model (idss format)" - does this matter?

Yes

Use From File block

[Rushiraj Jani]

I tried that, but as the matrix is generated from state space model, it is giving data type error

Check the configuration parameters, Data Import/Export. There is a way to set the "initial state" using the saved "states" from a previous simulation.

Ok

I will try. Thanks for the help
