Simulink not running script

What steps can I take to resolve the errors and warnings when running a Simulink script (.slx) that includes a UDP send block and is giving the following errors.

I'm running Simulink on Docker, that was installed through mpm, from the official Mathworks docker hub, reguraly licensed.

Once running the sim command the shell hangs, as if it was running but it's actually not, because I tryed to intercept traffic with wireshark and no traffic is being generated.

>> sim('/usr/local/src/simple.slx')

Can you attach a sample Simulink model demonstrating the problem, and the script file? Note that WIreshark cannot intercept network traffic to the loopback address unless it is specifically configured to allow that. On Windows at least, you must have Npcap installed. Not sure how it works on Linux.

Also verify your firewall settings allow the MATLAB process to send UDP data grams to the port number you want.

[Marco Lucchese]

I've attached the Simulink model. I've also ensured that the ports on the container are open and the connections have been successfully tested. Based on these checks, it is highly unlikely that the issue is related to networking.

These are warnings so your model should still be running but maybe the model is stuck or nothing is being logged.

The top 4 warnings are there because you have not connected the outports of your UDP blocks and your subsystem block to anything else. You may ignore these warning if you wish but note that some data is not being transmitted beyond those blocks.

The other warning is telling you that there is an algebraic loop in your model. The output of one of your sums feeds into a gain block which then is used as an input for the same sum. It might be causing your model to be stuck.

From the model you uploaded, I don't see anything being logged in the top system, I would try addressing these warnings and connecting some output ports to the outports of that subsystem.
