how to set the model's clock to the computer's ?

Hello, I would like to be able to set the time of my simulation with the exact time of the PC when I launch the simulation. (with the code in Model Triggers, onRunStart)


For the moment I use this code but I don't know how to configure with the PC time :

DateTime startTime = DateTime("05/11/2022 10:27:42 AM", "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p"); 
function_s(getmodelunit(START_TIME_NODE), "setDateTime", startTime);


Thank you for the help !

There's a post for that here. You can find the computer time with:

realtime(11)+" "+realtime(10)      // returns 05/13/22 18:04:49

or 

realtime(12)       //returns   Fri May 13 18:05:54 2022

And to convert it into a DateTime:

DateTime startTime = DateTime(realtime(11) + " " + realtime(10), "%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S");
