I tried to form a line model for my grid simulation and record some simulation results (current and power) at the same time. So this model is in my lib file. The easy way will be I take the recorded results into a bus output. And then when I initianize the instances in the simulink, I take a new bus element out node to save the results. But it will make the grid looks more caos because of so many nodes. I am thinking is it possible to

Put a parameter in the mask for example "filename" and then let the "to workspace" block takes "filename" as the variable name
Let model dynamically generate a variable name based on the instance in the simulink so it can filename1, filename2.. while I intiate the instances in the simulink.

The first method, I tried it, didn't work because the "to workspace" block takes "filename" not as a parameter but a constant string. So I want to know is it possible to realize what I want to do?

That is right. Passing a string name through mask is difficult if not impossible.

But what you really need is to log signals and be able to uniquely identify them even though they are inside duplicated library instances. Time to use Simulink Data Inpsector (SDI), either manually or through API. Every block has its unique full path so do its signals.

Thanks for your answer. But I think it has the same problem as I stated at the question "And then when I initianize the instances in the simulink, I take a new bus element out node to save the results." I want to hide the output port so that user can only see the grid connection and can choose record data yes/no in the window. Is it another way? Or do I understand you wrong?
