MATLAB: Can you use a Simulink model to set the values in a different model

Question

Is there any way that you can have one model link up to another model? Lets say I got a model that looks like this:

And another model that looks like:

If the first one had constant blocks instead of inports, could I set the first models constants and have the outport send the value to the inport of the second model?

Answer 1

AFAIK, the only supported way currently to have two models run simultaneously and send/receive data from each other is to use both of them as referenced models inside a third model where you can connect their input/output ports as required.
