What function in Matlab is equivalent to the block in Simulink "Transport Delay"?

I am trying to write a SimScape component file (.ssc) that uses a function that gives the same result as the Transport Delay block in Simulink. I can implement the functionality that I need within a SimScape model. However, I would like to encapsulate a part of this model in a component that is easily reused within a library.

What function in Matlab will implement the capability of the Transport Delay block?

I found what I needed. There is a demo called "Variable Transport Delay" in the help files. (I don't need the variable delay, but it is simple to make that a constant.) The code shows how to encapsulate the block in a .ssc file. It also shows the use of a function called delay(x,tau,...) that delays the signal x by the time tau.

Glad to hear it Stephen :)

Thank you Birdman. Your code runs for your simple demo case. Let me try it in my real case.

Ok try it and let me know the results.

On further review...

This does not do the same thing as the Transport Delay block. It does calculate a delayed version of system time, but it will not delay any other signal.

What do you want actually? I can modify the model according to your need.
