MATLAB Simulink: IF statement logic

General question, if I have code looking like this:

for x=0:500
   if x <= 250
      y = 2*x+1;
   else
      y= 3*x+2;
   end
end

How could I have the same logic using blocks/systems in Simulink? Whenever I try switches and If blocks, I get an error like "Input Ports (1) of __ are involved in the loop.

I can share my model if it is helpful. But if someone could show me how to put this code in terms of a Simulink system, I'm sure I could figure it out. FYI, if it isn't obvious, x is my input and y is my output.

Thank you!

For above code,

We can use Constant block to generate x and then save corresponding y values using To Workspace block based on condition using Switch block

You can also use input and outport but donot keep the port in loop. Fetch all the data once and start processing the data

As an example I am attaching the model

Also if you want data to be taken in serial then use Unbuffer block after the constant block
