<p>I strongly suspect that anything that would be useful would be specific to batteries, and would perhaps be best done in batch mode to generate a model that is then hand-tweaked and selected for use in xcos -- but I say that in part because over the years I've come to dislike graphical solvers.</p>
<p>I think it's possible to build a subsystem out of blocks that can be "masked" so that you can enter parameters in the usual way -- if you could boil your battery model down so that it had a few parameters, you could translate your measured data into parameters once, then use parameterized blocks for the battery behavior.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Sure thing Tim,
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for pointing out those details. I will share as much as I can.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am simulating the behavior of a battery as it is discharging into a circuit. I recorded data from the battery (for example, the voltage and current and internal resistance) during testing. I currently have the data at different time steps inside of an excel file.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would like to test this battery under different circuit configurations. However, changing the circuit can be time consuming and expensive. I was thinking that I could use xcos ability to do circuit simulation to construct a basic model of the battery that I am using that utilizes the data that I gathered. This way I can simulation the battery under different circuit configurations very easily.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I was wondering if there was a way that I could import my data into xcos to construct a model for simulation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I actually created the system to simulate the battery.</div>
