¿Thermal Networks compatible with HDL coder?

I’m working with Simescape HIL workflow and have successfully implemented my design, as an expansion I would like to also simulate thermals in real time for the semiconductors (diode & IGBT's) like in this post however, I don’t seem to get it to work. I seems as if it is not supported but I haven't encountered a post in the MathWorks Reference where it explicitly states that thermal networks are not supported in HDL coder (although I have found where it says that non-linear equation types). Has anyone more information about this topic or could reference a post on the topic?

I suggest you get in touch with MathWorks Technical Support or Application Engineering for this. Who exactly depends a bit on your project and license. If you are unsure about the next step, you can send me a direct message. If you send me the output of your MATLAB's "license" command, this will be a good starting point.

It is possible that the thermal network is adding nonlinearities to the model. We would need to see the model to give specific advice. In terms of the model preparation, you need to choose a solver type (Backward Euler, Trapezoidal Rule, or Partitioning) based on the type of blocks in your model. If you have linear and switched linear blocks in your model, choose the Backward Euler solver type. If you have nonlinear blocks in your model, choose the Partitioning solver type.
