Alternative for custom Simscape code setup function?

I have created custom Simscape components (.ssc files) that use the setup function to calculate parameter arrays using a few input values. After my recent update to r2026a, when I build these custom components I get a warning informing me that the setup function will be removed in a future release.

In order to get ahead on future-proofing my code, is there another way to initialize parameters inside the component file such that it can handle operations like adding arrays including units? Some ideas come to mind like intermediate or let-in methods, but I wanted to poll the community's expertise. I can test out and report back on any ideas you provide. Thank you.

Did you read the section "Version history" under

https://uk.mathworks.com/help/simscape/lang/setup.html#mw_6c6b4f25-6466-4729-8bce-4585d4cf2b03

for alternatives for "setup" ?

Thanks, Torsten! Somehow I've never encountered the help page for the setup function. I'll report back once I've digested this.
