Debuging continuous states in a discrete simulation

My simulation fails because The "VariableStepDiscrete" solver cannot be used to simulate block diagram 'Model_Name because it contains continuous states.
How do I troubleshoot? The Sample Time Display doesn't work because the failure occurs before the Sample Time Display is built.
Thanks.

The error occurs because you have continuous states in your model (for example, blocks from the Continuous sub-library in the Simulink library may have continuous states - like the integrator block), not necessarily continuous sample-times. You should switch to a solver that can solve continuous states (see Solvers), like ode45.
