Simulink Transfer Function Variable from Matlab

Hi,

I have setup a number of transfer functions in a simple control system, where the transfer functions are calling a variable from Matlab, which i have predefined and I do not need to change the values in the functions during the simulation. I have one parameter i call with an inport ok, but I am having problems getting the other parameters to load correctly into the transfer functions, as when i try and run the simulation i get the following error:

"The external inputs specified for the block diagram indicate that the port dimensions should be [9x1]. Instead, the port dimensions are being set to [1]. "

I can see that somehow Simulink is not finding the values from Matlab, but i am not sure what i am doing wrong, as creating other inports would not allow me to connect them. I have attached a screen grab of my model for reference

Matlab Values

wref = 50

Ki = 15

Kd = 0.04

T1 = 0.1

T2 = 0.2

T3 = 0.1

T4 = 1

T5 = 0.1

T6 = 0.2

Td = 0.02

Try using a Constant block and set its parameter to wref, instead of using an Inport for wref. The error message sounds like there's a problem with parameters of that Inport, but based on the problem description it sounds like it's not needed anyway.

Thanks - i found the problem eventually, i was trying to import the values using 'Model Settings->Input' for all the settings, when this was only needed for inports.
