Hi Bohan, I think you will want to look at creating custom Simscape blocks using the Simscape programming language. If you have not done this before, you will need to spend some time in the Matlab help and try some examples. For your specific question, you can create a custom block that has and input. I attached an inertia block (2015a) which has inertia as an input. The original library inertia block had the inertia value as a block parameter. I think you can adapt this solution quite easily to the resistor. Check out "Model Linear Resistor in Simscape Language" in the Matlab help.
Sorry, can't attach *.ssc files. Here it is below.

component inertia_custom
% Inertia_Custom
% The block represents an ideal mechanical rotational inertia.
%
% The block has one mechanical rotational conserving port.
% The block positive direction is from its port to the reference point.
% This means that the inertia torque is positive if the inertia is
% accelerated in the positive direction.
inputs
inertia = { 0.01, 'kg*m^2' }; % :bottom
end
nodes
I = foundation.mechanical.rotational.rotational; % :top
end
parameters
initial_velocity = { 0, 'rad/s' }; % Initial velocity
end
variables
t = { 0, 'N*m' };
end
function setup
through( t, I.t, [] );
% if inertia <= 0
% pm_error('simscape:GreaterThanZero','Inertia' )
% end
I.w = initial_velocity;
end
equations
t == inertia * I.w.der;
end
end
