Question
Is it possible to refer to values that are determined in a previous time step, using Simulink/SimMechanics?
Context
I am modeling a system in SimMechanics where the positions of joints are driven by the output of a state-space system. The input for this state-space system are also the positions of these joints. Clearly, this creates the need for algebraic loops. If I understand it correctly, in SimMechanics a solution is searched where all subsystems are consistent at every time step.
For my specific problem, I want to try a partitioned approach. That is, I want to use the positions of the previous time step as input for my state-space system. Thereby, I won't need algebraic loops anymore.
Thanks in advance!
