how to design a MPC controller for a plant with discontinuities like a switching electric circuit in simulink?

how do I linearize models with discontinuities like circuits with switches and diodes in simulink. I have gone through linearization for tuning PID, but can the plant created while tuning be used for designing MPC controller and if yes please tell me how? any tips on how to design MPC for electric circuits in simulink?

If you already created a linear model when tuning a PID controller you can definitely reuse this model for designing an MPC controller. If you have a linear model in your PID Tuner, export it to MATLAB workspace, and you can use it to design MPC controller from the command line or in MPC Designer app.

The linear model developed in PID after exporting to workspace does not show up in the MPC designer app but appears in the MATLAB workspace. Also the MPC in the simulink for circuits with discontinuities does not let us to import plant model before linearization. Thanks for your reply.
