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…

How to use Revolute - Rotational Interface to connect SimScape motor to SimMechanics Joint

I tried to rotate the revolute joint of a machine in SimMechanics. The actuator is from SimElectronics, so I use the Revolute - Rotational Interface block to connect the motor and the joint together. The whole block model is as follows (also…

Warning encountered using ideal translational velocity and not ideal force source in Simscape for spring-mass-damper system

For my project, I am planning to conduct simulations in Simulink for an investigation on viscoelasticity behaviour that 3D printed plastic coupons seem to exhibit. Viscoelastic behaviour can be represented by different spring-dashpot combinations…
