How to model sun-sensor photocell

I am new to simulink and trying to model a sun-sensor for attitude control which uses a photocell to generate the current based on intensity. Is there any way to model the same in simulink.

I found a photodiode sensor but it's with the sensors toolbox which I don't have access to. Is there way to model that.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Divas,

In order to do physical modeling of sensors, you would need to use Simscape (and potentially SimElectronics depending on the sensor)- the specific capability that you are asking about does not exist in base Simulink. Hope this helps!
