Description:

This block allows one to use the current simulation time. As it is a varying quantity, it is incremented according to the simulation time step which is also informed by this block. In Figure 1, it is possible to see a Time block connected to a Scope block and a Display block. After the simulation, a monotonically increasing signal (time value) and a constant signal (simulation step) can be seen. The simulation was set to have 10s of duration and using a Simulation Step of 0.1s.
