Extract values at a particular time of a simulation to use in the same simulation

Im trying to create a block diagram that estimates de inductance of a RL branch. For that I inyect a step signal (a voltage) and by observing at what instance the current arrives at the 63% of the final current we can determine the indutance . So basically I need to find a mechanism that allows me to find the value of from the simulation.

Any idea on how to do that?

You can use the "Stop Simulation" block for this purpose. This block stops the simulation when its input becomes true (non-zer0)

Assuming you know in advance the final current value, you can use a relational operator (>=) block to test if the signal is greater than 0.63*finalCurrent and feed this to the stop block

For example, you could do something like this, where the Vin is a unit step (1 volt) and the values for L and R are assigned in the base workspace (assign them in a script or on the command line before running)
