How can I create different fractions to guide the actions of a switch block? I want to route 25%, 45%,30% to servers A, B and C respectively.

I am trying to use simulink to create the simulation of a clinic and patient movement through the clinic. A fraction of the patients move to different departments of the clinics, based on their characteristics or attributes. I would like to route the different representative factions but I am not sure how to do this. I have been struggling with the switch block but I don't know how to code in the right fractions to control the switch. Are there any examples out there that might help?

Based on the information you gave it certainly seems like a event based simulation, and MathWorks offer another Simulink based library to do so:

You can assign attributes to entities, and the route them accordingly. Please refer to different examples here:

There are good tutorials, which will ramp you on to this product:

Hi Sandip, Thanks a lot. I would go through the links and tutorials, they might suggest a better way to do it. For now I used a pulse generator and switch to set the proportions.
