Two Step functions in Different Times , or reset a subsystem block

I have a simple model with two Step functions , one enabled subsystem. one step is outside subsystem with a value of 1, and another step is inside the subsystem with value 1. I am monitoring both steps in scope. When i run simulation output becomes 1 at 1 sec in both steps. But I need to do that after first step executes in 1 seconds , the second step inside the block should execute so the output from 2nd step will be 2 secs delayed. (why the both steps execute at the same time , even in enabled-subsystem )

Here is the text of the original question, just in case Safiya decides to delete the text of this question too (like this one):

The step time parameter is with reference to the simulation time and not from the time the subsystem is enabled.

For example if you change the step time for source (S1) outside the subsystem to 2sec and retain the step time for the source (S2) within the subsystem at 1 sec you will notice that both signals will transition to 1 at 2 sec.

Similarly if you make the step time of S1 to be 1 and S2 as 2 you will see that S2 will transition to a value of 1 at 2 sec even though the subsystem has been enable at 1 sec. (notice it will not transition to 1 at 3 sec either)

Hope that helps,

so, what will be solution this , is the same as my question

Hi Haider,

The solution would depend on what you are trying to model in your system and the configuration. For example, if I assume you want the input within your subsystem to transition to 1, one time step after it has been enabled and assuming your sample time is 1, the easiest solution I can think of is to not use a step source within the subsystem. Rather click on the Enable block in your subsystem and check show outport. Connect this outport to delay. This should give the desired result (Assuming that is what you want).

Hope that helps.

[Safiya]

yes , good idea: it will help me

Perhaps your control signal to the Enabled Subsystem enables it immediately? Make sure that the control signal is enabled only after 2 secs.

[Safiya]

even with control signal enables it at 2 secs
