Hi,
I am simulating a mechanical system in SimMechanics with a controller in Simulink. The solver is unable to solve an algebraic loop highlighted:
Is there a solution to this? I tried adding a memory block, but simulation results change.
Kind regards, Maciej

Adding a memory block might not be a good idea depending on the nature of your model. For more information look at Guy's blog.
Check if there any direct feed throughs in the simulink simscape interface if there are look to remove them. Also the link below gives valuable hints on avoiding algbraic loops in a simscape model: Algebraic loops
