Simulink RLC branch dependency on frequency

I am using series RLC branch from simpowersystems. When I enter the capacitance value, there is no option for frequency. This is important in my model, because capacitive impedance changes with frequency.

It depends on ur supply frequency
Thanks Muhammed! that makes sense. Also my supply voltage has pwm steps, so it is not pure sine. How can i measure capacitive impedance?
It has to do with the discrete or continuous option in powergui.

If you connect an Impedance Measurement block across the component, you can use the " Impedance vs. Frequency Measurement " option in the powergui block to get its impedance over a range of frequencies.

It seems to me that the question here is more how to model variable capacitance as a function of the frequency, rather than measuring the impedance of a component. Is this possible at all?
