Is there a block in Simulink to load equations in state variables ?

1 view (last 30 days)
I remember having seen some time ago a custom block in Simulink, that allowed to place a system of equations written in the format of state variables (in several lines). I haven't found it again and I don't see it in the repositories. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me about it.
My best regards.

One can enter user defined differential equations in a Matlab Function block. The body of the function would look like:
function xdot = pendulum(x)
g = -9.81;
L = 1;
xdot(1) = x(2);
xdot(2) = -g/L*sin(x(1));
end
Mabe this is what you're looking for?

No, it was something like
x(1)= .........
x(2)= .......
x(3)= ........
where x(n) means derivative of x(n-1)
x(1) means x dot.
Each x() is placed in one line in the box

Now I'm confused about what the equations are that need to be implemented. Can you write a few lines of Matlab code that illustrates an example set of equations?

Suppose the sinple pendulum differential equation:
ẋ1=x2
ẋ2= -g/l*sin(x1)
