User-defined MATLAB function block in Simulink/Simscape

I have imported a set of values for x and y based on a nonlinear curve in a MATLAB function block. I have varying input, t, coming in from a signal builder block and a transformation equation transforming t into x using a constant, k. I would like the function output to be a varying value y based on the input value x = t/k. However, the system does not seem to evaluate the y values when producing an output. I need help defining function h to a value from the y data as a function of x.

function h = fcn(t)


% x = current [Ampere]
% y = power dissipation (heat) [Watt]
% t = torque [Newton * meter]
% h = heat [Watt]
% k = torque constant [Newton * meter / Ampere]

k = 0.721;
x = t / k;

h = t; 

Currently the output of the function only shows linear values which are equal to the input.

use a statement like

z = t / k;  % don't use x

to get the argument for the table lookup. Then use interp1(x,y,z) to find your output.
