I'm using a sine signal to simulate voltage and I want to model a hysteresis loop. On simulink, if you run the sine signal through the backlash function, it outputs a sine signal that is sort of delayed wherever slope is 0. I added a comparison of sine graph to sine run through backlash. But this is in the time domain and my hysteresis loop needs to be have voltage on the x-axis. How do I use the output of this graph as the domain of another graph? I'm new to simulink, so any help is appreciated! Thank you!
