Serialize continuous column vector signal to scalar

Hello everyone

I have nx1 continuous input vector that I need to feed to my simscape network. This simscape network demands scalar input since it is a voltage controlled block. Is there any way to serialize this to scalar?

Thank you

I understand that you want to feed a continuous input vector with nx1 dimensions into a Simulink/Simscape network that expects a scalar input, you can consider various approaches depending on the specific requirements of your system. Here are a few common strategies:

• Signal Conditioning Block: You can create a custom Signal Conditioning block using Simulink or Simscape to perform continuous processing on the input vector and convert it into a scalar value. This block should take the nx1 continuous input vector as an input and use appropriate mathematical operations (such as integration, summation, or custom calculations) to generate a continuous scalar output.
• Custom MATLAB Function: You can also create a custom MATLAB Function block within Simulink to perform complex continuous operations on the input vector. This MATLAB Function block can take the continuous vector as an input and return a continuous scalar output based on your defined computations.
