Examples showing how to schedule the sequential execution of different subsystems

SIMULINK® INITIALIZATION AND SEQUENTIAL BLOCK EXECUTION EXAMPLES:

A question often asked by advanced simulink users is how to execute some part of the model only once at the beginning of the simulation, and execute another part of the model only after the former is executed.

This is often motivated, for example, by the need to execute some diver blocks that perform some initialization function on the hardware, before executing other blocks that perform the main intended task.

A related question is how to make sure that some blocks are executed only sequentially, that is one after the other.

This file contains simple examples showing how to easily perform both tasks in a pure-simulink setting.

Note that some hints and examples on how to approach these problems are also given in the documentation (see below).

OTHER APPROACHES DESCRIBED IN THE DOCUMENTATION:

This is a general starting point:

this is an alternating executing subsystem example:

while this is a stateflow-based solution:

and this is a more general explanation of how to display and control the execution order, still based on stateflow:
