Store generated Entity type in Workspace

Hello! I'm having some trouble with my simulink model: I have an entity generator that creates 3 different type of entity at each generation step (let's consider them as product 1,2,3 and so the entity type are 1, 2, 3).

Now, I would like to trace in the Workspace which is the type of entity that is generated in a specific point in time.

My output store correctly the intergeneration time (At start) and the Time in system, but I would like to add also which type of attribute is generated.

How can I solve this Issue?

Thanks, Aldo.

You need a Simulink function, whose output port is connected to a "To workspace" block. Let's call this function RecordGenerationTime().

You also need a function to get the simulation time. This function contains a Digital clock block. Let's call this function GetSimulationTime().

In the Entry event action for all of the generators, you first get the current simulation time, and then record it:

CurrentSimulationTime = GetSimulationTime();
RecordGenerationTime(CurrentSimulationTime);

When Simulink is done executing the model, you can see the results in the structure created in the base workspace, which contains a timeseries object that contains the exact records for the generation times.
