How do I rerun a Simulink model?

Hello!

I have a model, of which the input is an array, values differ from time 1 to 10, and I expect the output, which generated by multiplying input values and operators, is also an array from time 1 to 10.

I tried and according to the Simulink algorithm, input value at time T can only be multiplied by operator values at time T, but what I expect is, each input will be individually multiplied throughout the whole simulation time.

%This is what I expected.
Input = 1:10;
Time = 1:10;
for i = 1:10
    for o = 1:10
        Output(i) = Time(o) * Input(i)
    end
end

For instance, I input a number at time 1, it will be multiplied by a series of operators from time 1 to time 10, and then there is an output 1 (time 1:10) for input 1;

then I have an input 2, it will also generate an output 2 (time 1:10) for input 2, and as well for input 3, 4, ..., 10.

I think it is difficult under the algorithm of Simulink, so I wonder if it is possible to achieve it by rerun the entire model for 10 times, and each time before it starts, to have a messagebox or something to let me input the values?

I read about callbacks but seems there is no parameters I can use to do it?

Have you tried using lookup tables? Or parameterisation using MATLAB scripts?? A picture of the model/an attached model file would help to understand clearly what is going on. Instead of editing the question 100 times , you could simply respond to my questions ;).

Hello, thank you for your comment.

I am sorry I was editing the question because I found something wrong with the code I paste.

I havn't tried these, I will check them out!

Not a problem :), take your time.

In general, most Simulink blocks support vector and array input. For example, the multiply (Product) block supports element-wise or matrix multiply. So I think you can just layout your algorithm using blocks and let the array data pass through. See this

Thank you very much!

Moreover, I wonder that when I open a top model, if I can run a reference model before I run the top model?

[Fangjun Jiang]

If you are at the top model and want to run simulation for the top model, you don't need to do anything about the reference model. If you open the reference model from there, the opened reference model is treated as a separate model. You can run simulation for it but it does not have anything to do with the top model.
