I need to connect physical modelling connection port to the output of a switch with 2 input. How can I establish this?

Hi Shelma,

Place a Signal Routing block (e.g., Mux block) after the switch.Connect the output of the switch to the Signal Routing block. Then, connect the desired input port of the physical modeling connection block to the Signal Routing block.

The mux output is also not able to connect with physical modeling connection block

Hi Shelma,

Use a Signal Conversion block as an alternative approach. Connect the output of the Mux block to the Signal Conversion block, and then connect the Signal Conversion block to the Physical Modeling Connection block.

Not able to connect between signal conversion block and physical modelling connection block

Hi Shelma,

Make sure that the output data types are compatible. Check the data types of the signals being passed between these blocks. If there is a mismatch, you may need to use data type conversion blocks like Data Type Conversion or Data Type Duplicate to ensure compatibility. Here is an example of how you can connect the Signal Conversion block to the Physical Modeling Connection block in Matlab:

% Create a Signal Conversion block

signalConversionBlock = Simulink.BlockDiagram.addBlock('built-in/Signal

Conversion', 'YourModel/SignalConversionBlock');

% Connect the output of the Mux block to the Signal Conversion block

add_line('YourModel', 'MuxBlock/1', 'SignalConversionBlock/1');

% Create a Physical Modeling Connection block

physicalModelingBlock = Simulink.BlockDiagram.addBlock('built-in/Physical

Modeling Connection', 'YourModel/PhysicalModelingBlock');

% Connect the Signal Conversion block to the Physical Modeling Connection block

add_line('YourModel', 'SignalConversionBlock/1', 'PhysicalModelingBlock/1');

By ensuring data type compatibility and following the correct block connections, you should be able to successfully link the Signal Conversion block to the Physical Modeling Connection block in Matlab.
