Simscape™ provides an environment for modeling and simulating physical systems spanning mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and other physical domains.

Simscape models can be used to develop control systems and test system-level performance. We can extend the libraries using the MATLAB® based Simscape language, which enables text-based authoring of physical modeling components, domains, and libraries.

Modelica vs Simscape

This question has two main aspects actually. Right at the beginning, I have to admit that I am totally new to physical modeling and would be glad to be corrected as well, not only be answered. For those who find it too long to read, I can give a…

water tank modeling in simscape

I want to model a simple tank with water flowing out of it. Which has level sensor and connected to a controller. When the sensor gets activated(means minimum value of tank has been reached), it sends signal to Actuator to stop the outflow. I have…

Rotational mechanical system in Simulink

I'm simulating a shaft system in Simulink, where I have to find the displacement of a mass. I'm not sure how to model this in Simulink because of the shaft and pulley. I'm looking through the documentation and the closest thing I see to a shaft is…

SImscape: How can i generate Temperature derating curve of Fuse after the Fuse temperature reaches the melting temperature (tripping situation)?

I'm trying to get the Temperature-Current curve of 10A Fuse from the thermoelectric equivalent circuit model in Simscape. For that, I have created a custom Switch and variable resistance. Thermal RC Cauer model is divided into different RC…

How do I modify this customized simscape block?

I am currently working on a simulink simulator and right now I am trying to customize a simscape block so I can get a parameter as an input rather than a fixed value. I have added the Capacity input but i dunno how to propagate this over to the…
