Hi everyone.

In Matlab/Simulink it’s possible to write a code in a block called Matlab Function so you can manage your inputs and creates the desired outputs.

Well. First question: Is there in Plecs Standalone the similar “block” ? Is the C-Script block ?

Second question: Is this the only way to get my goal?

Thank you.

Bye.

Hello,

Yes, in PLECS Standalone, the C-Script block is likely your best option. It might also be achievable using the State Machine block. Have you tried either of these?

Best,

Kris

Hi!

Thank you for your answer.

I tried to use C-Script but for some things is quite difficult… maybe because I don’t know very well C! 🙂

I’ll take a look at State Machine block… I didn’t know it existed!

Regards.
