How can I control a revolute joint with a stepper motor ?

Hello, I want to control a stage which is actuated by a lead screw and stepper motor. Ideally, I need to specify the velocity of the stage or angular velocity of the rotational joint 1 so that it rotates the screw. I used simscape to generate the block diagram from my CAD model from onshape (link below). Is there any way of doing this ? I have tried using the stepper motor model from the simelectronics library but had trouble connecting it to the joint.

Thank you

Without feedback, you can not control anything, man. It will be an open loop system.
I have updated my answer, hope it is clearer.

Did you fix your issue, I am also trying but in vain, to control a revolute joint with a stepper motor
I have the same issue. Did you guys find any solution?
