Set a variable in Simulink workspace from App Designer

Hello, I have a Simulink model to simulate a solar power plant with a battery. This model uses a variable named "battery_capacity". I want to create an app with App Designer to set the inputs of the model and have an overlook of the outputs.

But somehow I can't manage to run

sim('power_plant.slx')

with my variable updated to the the value of

app.BatteryCapacityEditField.Value

I tried a lot of things but I can't find the righgt way of doing it. Can someone help me ?
