Can Simscape handle Arrays or Vector Data? if so, how?

To any Matlab Expert,

I have a problem, I am trying to model two bays connected via several orifices. However, I want the user of the model to be able to set the number of orifices by using a GUI.

My question is, is it possible to put data into an array or vector while using simscape?... I have tried feeding a vector to a PS to S block but it doesnt allow it, I have also tried to vectorize my own custom component block but, if I try to vectorize the variables or Nodes I am unable to build the block using ssc_build.

My goal is to place all orifice data into an array that the user can choose the size of; for example if he chooses "4" orifices then my array would have 4 dimensions for things like orifice location and radius, however I need to be able to send this data through simscape components like Pressure Source Blocks and Flow Sensors, etc.

I hope I am making sense, please help if possible!

Thanks, Kris

I'm trying to accomplish a similar task. I was able to package an array of data like this:

outputs

myOut = {zeros(1,4), '1'} m:right

end

equations

myOut(1)= x;

myOut(2) =y;

etc

end

This puts alll my data on the same pin, but I'm stuck on 'decomposing' the pin on the next block that uses that data.
