If you want to combine a physical external signal with a Simscape model, you will need to run the Simscape model in real-time and you need real-time capable hardware. This means you need to run Simulink Real-time with SpeedGoat real-time hardware with the Simscape model running on a progammable FPGA with HDL Coder. The Simscape model needs to be linearized by the HDL Coder Advisor.

To include an external device to your Simscape model, you need to use hardware-in-loop (HIL) simulation. This is possible by configuring the model to run in real time using Simulink Real-time. In HIL simulation, you use a real-time computer as a virtual representation of your plant model and a real version of your controller.
Extensive details on preparing Simscape models for real-time simulation, solver selection, workflows can be found here:
