How to create a copy of a standard simscape block that i can modify equations

Hi all,

I would like to modify the rotational electromechanical converter block, found in the foundation library (electrical -> electrical elements) and then save it as a new block.

I have found the mathworks help and tutorials to not simply address this. they dive into creating your own libraries, etc.

Does anyone have a list of steps to do this?

Thanks!!!!!

Eric

you can follow this workflow:

1. Open the block dialog box and click the "View source for Name" link. 2. Copy and modify the source, as desired, and save the resulting .ssc file in a package directory on your machine. 3. Run ssc_build on this package directory.

For details on how to package your files and how to run the ssc_build command, see http://www.mathworks.com/help/physmod/simscape/ref/ssc_build.html

Note that the "View source for Name" link is available only for the blocks in Simscape Foundation library. Blocks in add-on products (such as SimDriveline, SimElectronics, etc.) do not have this link.

What if the component doesn't have a view source for name link?

Hi Eric,

you should check the simscape language manual. Read the second chapter.
