Is there a way to save a value to .mat file in simevents?

I am trying to save a value from my simevents model to .mat file. I am using 'save' to save variable to .mat file (for ex, save fileName.mat variableName), but I am getting this error:

Function 'save' not supported for code generation.

When I add coder.extrinsic('save') and run the code, I get this error:

The coder.extrinsic directive cannot be applied to 'save'. Remove the call to coder.extrinsic for this function.

Is there a way to make this work? Thank you.

Hello,

I understand you want to save the data into a MAT file from SimEvents model. Unfortunately, the “save” command is not supported for code generation. You can use file I/O function that is supported for code generation. You can use “fwrite()” function for binary files, and “fprintf” function for text files to load the data into .mat file.

Please refer to the following documentation links to know more about “fwrite” and “fprintf” functions:

Write data to binary file - MATLAB fwrite

Write data to text file - MATLAB fprintf

Hope this helps!
