How to control Simmechanics motion from GUI?

Hello.. I'm a Simmechanics user. I have a GUI and Simmechanics model. I want my Simmechanics model have a motions depends on data from GUI. My question, how to transfer a data from GUI to simulink (Simmechanics) I have made so that my Simmechanics can move? Which blocks should I use?

Thank you..

I am assuming that you mean to feed input signals/data into Simulink from your GUI, and not just tune parameters, correct?

It is fairly straightforward to access Simulink data during simulation (for example, if you want to update a plot in your GUI according to the current simulation output), but takes a little more thought to use your GUI as a source to your Simulink model. Note that the model expects the source to produce a value at every time-step during execution, so it is best to create a MATLAB S-function block to act as a source. The S-function can read the appropriate data from your GUI at every time-step and provide that as an input to the rest of the model.
