Simulink - How do I create a conditional "if" block with more than 3 statements?
For example:
if(a>2)
do something
elseif (b>3)
do something else
elseif (c>4)
do something else
elseif (a<2 and c<2)
do something else
else
do default
end
What have I tried so far:
- The default "if" block permits only 2 conditions + default.
- I tried using the "case" but case only take one input and I need multiple inputs and 1 output (different depending on the conditions).

I'm running the script and it seems to be running fine for me.
a = 1;
b = 1;
c = 1;
if(a>2)
disp('first');
elseif (b>3)
disp('second');
elseif (c>4)
disp('third');
elseif (a<2 && c<2)
disp('fourth');
else
disp('default');
end
The issue I think you're facing is once a statement is true (e.g. if b is greater than 3, hence second if statement is correct). The program will exit the if statement and not check if a<2 && c<2.
One way to solve this issue (may not be the best but it should work) is just dividing the if statements into seperate statements instead of creating multiple elseifs.

**Moved from questions to answer**
When you know the matlab code needed to do something in Simulink a Matlab Fuction Block can be added to solve the problem.
However, the IF block can also do multiple else ifs as shon below.
