An Explicit Event node () specifies an event that occurs at predefined times entered in the Event Timings section. When an event occurs, it is possible to specify reinitialization of global states in the Reinitialization section. Right-click an Explicit Event node to add the Reinitialization on Domains, Boundaries, Edges, or Points node.

Write the first time an explicit event occurs in the Start of event text field. It is also possible to repeatedly trigger the event by entering the period in the Period of event field.

In the table, enter information in the Variable and Expression columns for the global state variables that the event reinitializes to the given expression.
