Custom Simscape/Simulink Library

Hello,

How can I make a custom library populated with Simscape foundational blocks, user defined Simscape blocks, user defined subsystems, and Simulink blocks (such as the scope)?

Currently, I can add all of the above to a custom library, but if I add another custom block and rebuild with ssc_build, the simulink blocks disappear and must be added by dragging again. I would like to build a custom library with all necessary components to send to other users.

All computers using the model and library have MATLAB2015a and relevant Toolboxes installed.

Thanks for the help! -Ryan

Consider adding an sl_postprocess.m file to your library directory, sl_postprocess - Make postprocessing customizations when building custom block library - MATLAB. It will run as part of your call to ssc_build.

For example, in 25a, you could have a post-processing file with the following content to add the Foundation Resistor block to your custom library:

function sl_postprocess(h)
% Check if the handle is valid
if isempty(h) || ~ishandle(h)
    error('Invalid handle provided.');
end

% Add the Simscape Foundation Resistor block to the custom library
try
    % Add the Resistor block to the model
    add_block('fl_lib/Electrical/Electrical Elements/Resistor', ...
        [get_param(h, 'Name') '/Resistor']);
catch ME
    error('Failed to add Resistor block: %s', ME.message);
end
end
