How to modify a Simscape model before restoring the previous results of analysis

In relation to the following link, I would like to save the flexible body state deformed under appropriate force loading, and then structurally modify the model afterwards.

Specifically, I hope to put limits on the angle of the revolute joint during the deformation of the flexible body, and then remove the limits during subsequent analysis.

If such a change is possible, I would like to know how to do it.

The initial state of a model, if saved using FinalState in Simulink, will require that the model have the exact same structure, so adding/removing blocks will not be permitted. What you can do, though, is deactivate the Revolute Joint using joint modes. The structure of the model remains the same and you can use the state you saved from your previous analysis.
