Passing Strings to Reference Model Parameters

I have a top level model 'X' that references an actuator model 'Y' 4 times. Model Y takes its parameter input values from a structure of SimParams that have the structure Sys.Act.S2E.aaa.bbb. I cannot change the first 3 levels of the structure (Sys.Act.S2E). aaa represents which of the 4 actuators it is (c1p, c1y, c2p, or c2y) and bbb represents the parameter for that actuator. (i.e. Sys.Act.S2E.c1p.eff)
I am trying to find a way to pass the actuator identifier to the parameter block to get the value from the Sys structure. Ideally, I would put something like "Sys.Act.S2E.(x).eff" into the blocks parameter input. Then in the top level model I could pass "c1p" as "x" to get Sys.Act.S2E.c1p.eff.
I parameterized the reference model block so it would take the model argument x, but it seems that only integers can be passed as parameters and not strings like "c1p." Is there any other way to pass a string to the parameter value box in a reference model?

Hi,
Have you tried looking at variant subsystems? As far as I understand for your use case, you have certain parameters which are governing which of the actuators to use and based on that setting different values. A variant system may help in achieving this task.
Hope this helps
regards
Rakesh
