Regular simulink model missing in 2020b

Hi

I am struggling to find basic electrical components in simulink R2020b. I need to use normal inductor model but I am only getting the physical signal model (blue color models)of the inductor which is not compatible with rest of my blocks. Where can I find the regular simulink inductor model the one with black color.

Hi, I believe you can find the block you are mentioning in these location, Open the simulink library and search in this location

Vairable Inductor : Simscape / Electrical / Specialized Power Systems / Fundamental Blocks / Elements

Nonlinear Inductor : Simscape / Electrical / Specialized Power Systems / Fundamental Blocks / Elements

Refer the below links for the documentation of these blocks,

With the help of PS-Simulink/Simulink-PS converter block you can also use the linear inductor model (blue color models). The PS-Simulink block will convert the physical signal into a simulink signal. For more information you can refer this documentation,

Alternatively you can also use a Series RLC block with Resistance set to zero and Capacitance set to inf. You can refer the below link for more information.
