Simscape model in a triggered subsystem

Hi all,

I would like to control the execution of a Simscape model. I thought about using a triggered subsystem block for this, however I think there is a conflict between this and the solver configuration block. Has anyone managed to do something like this before or does anyone have another suggestion which achieves the same goal?

Thank you.

I understand that you are facing issue while controlling the execution of a Simscape model using a Triggered Subsystem, but as you mentioned, there might be conflicts with the solver configuration block. Here are a few alternative methods you can consider:

1. Function-Call Subsystem: Instead of using a Triggered Subsystem, you can use a Function-Call Subsystem to control the execution of your Simscape model. You can create a custom function that triggers the subsystem's execution and incorporate it into your simulation workflow.
2. Simulink Control Signals: You can control the execution of a Simscape model using Simulink control signals such as enable/disable signals. You can use Signal Routing blocks or control logic to enable or disable specific parts of the model based on your requirements.
3. Simulation Callbacks: Utilize Simulink's simulation callbacks to define custom behaviour before and after simulation steps. You can create functions to control when and how the simulation progresses.
