How to open the electrical switch again after it closed

Hello everybody,

I'm currently modeling a simple eltrical circuit and I've implemented the switch from the electrical foundaiton library. Since the Switch should close and open over time I used the Clock block as the physical signal input. In practise the switch should close after 1 sec. and reopen again after 1.5 sec. The problem I have now is that the switch closes when the time reaches 1 but i don't see any possibility to open the switch again after 1.5 sec.

Is there any solution to my problem?

Can you share your Simulink model(export to R2017a)?

This is just for testing purposes. I already went ahead and implemented a IF-Block to get the needed results. I just feel like there must be a better way.

You can use a Pulse Generator block to control the switch: https://mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/pulsegenerator.html

You can also use a PWM block: https://mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/pwm.html
