Hello,
I'm trying to make a toy example work using simulink. I have a particle that i want to go in a circle. Basically what I want to do is to rotate progressively by 10 deg over 36 sec (so it makes a full circle).
How to code this in simulink? For the rotation, I used the 2d rotation matrix about z. I am basically having trouble feeding back the updated velocity as the new reference.

If you directly feed it back, you will create an algebraic loop, which is sometimes difficult to solve. Feedback through a delay block https://in.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/delay.html. Give a delay of 1 between output and feedback input.

Is there a reason why you wan to use a feedack loop where none really exists? Keep in mind that feedback loop is sampled and therefore the model is not integrating a continuous velocity. Why not just implement the equation for velocity directly, like so:
