1 view (last 30 days)
I am woking on some custom Simulink/Simscape blocks und would like to add new tabs in the block dialog box besides the Parameters and Variables tab. How can I do this?

Am I right, assuming that it is not possible to add Tabs to a custom Simscape block?

Hello Remo,
I also work with custom simscape components and it appears that this functionality does not yet exist within the simscape language. I have a particurlarly long list of parameters that I would like to catergorize as well. The only current workaround that I know of seems to be to mask the generated simscape block and assign tabs that way which can be tedious. However it comes with a caveat that if you mask the block directly (Simscape Custom components at least) it will most likely crash the simulation on first runs. A work around to that is to put the block (or copy of the block) into a subsystem and mask the subsystem. This, for whatever reason, seems to mitigate the crashing.
I would put in an enhancement request to mathworks though, as this seems like an important behaviour to be able to code.
Sincerely,
Maxwell
