How to get hall effect outputs (ha, hb, hc) from the IPMSM block in Simscape?

In Simulink, the built-in PMSM block in the Simulink Powertrain Blockset provides direct hall sensor outputs (ha, hb, hc), which is very convenient. However, when using the IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine) block from Simscape Electrical, I can't find a direct way to obtain hall effect signals.

How can I extract or calculate the equivalent hall effect outputs from the IPMSM Simscape block? Do I need to compute them based on rotor position? If so, what is the recommended method or logic to implement this?

Any suggestions, sample logic, or references are appreciated.

Hey Saigan,

You can use the Hall Validity and Hall Speed and Position blocks to get the positional information of the rotor. The following example demonstrates how to use it with a PMSM:
