Thermal insulation with phase change materials on simscape

Hello.

I'm just starting to learn how to use Matlab for a school project. I am interested in thermal insulation and use Simulink's thermal library. In fact, I created a thermal model of a wooden box on the outside and insulator on the inside. The problem is that my study focuses on phase change materials (as an insulator) and I don't know how to model them.

Do you know if there is a fairly accessible way to model them? Apart from representing them as other insulators, I don't know how to do it; But this does not take into account the phase change of materials while this is what interests me (melting temperature, ...). I hope one of you can help me and I thank him in advance if this is the case! (Sorry if there are mistakes, I'm French).
