Hi,
Simscape converts a physical model into a mathematical model by using first-principles modeling, which involves understanding the system’s physics to derive a mathematical representation. In Simscape, the models are built by combining components, which makes it easy to use as Simulink; but easier to use for creating a model of a physical system.

These documents should provide comprehensive insights into how Simscape models and simulations works.
