What it does
Use when writing or editing Simscape Language (.ssc) source files, components, domains, or functions. Triggers include: model a physical component in .ssc; write physical equations for a Simscape block; add or modify physics or parameterization options in a Simscape component; build a composite component. Also use for validating .ssc syntax, fixing Simscape Language errors, or converting governing equations into working Simscape component code. Do NOT use for configuring or connecting existing Simscape blocks in a Simulink model, that is model building, not language authoring.
Simscape Language Authoring
Write .ssc files (components, domains, functions) that pass validation and are physically correct.
When to Use
- Writing a new .ssc component, domain, or function from scratch
- Adding or modifying physics, equations, or parameterization in an existing .ssc file
- Converting governing equations into a working Simscape component
- Adding mode charts, events, or switching logic to a component
- Building a composite component that connects subcomponents together
- Fixing Simscape Language syntax or validation errors
When NOT to Use
- Configuring or connecting existing Simscape blocks in a Simulink model, use
building-simulink-modelsinstead - Simulating a model or inspecting results, use
simulating-simulink-models - Setting block parameters from MATLAB or a script without editing .ssc source
Workflow
Designing a component
Below are the sections that make up a Simscape component. Include only what is needed.
nodes, inputs, outputs
nodes, quantity participates in bilateral energy exchange (the network enforces Across equalization + Through summation).inputs, physical signal imposed from outside (control signal, environment).outputs, physical signal for a measurement or computed result.
Node ports have a domain. Reuse an existing one, especially foundation; author a custom domain only when none covers the physics.
| Physics | Domain path |
|---|---|
| Electrical (single-phase) | foundation.electrical.electrical |
| Rotational mechanical | foundation.mechanical.rotational.rotational |
| Translational mechanical | foundation.mechanical.translational.translational |
| Thermal (heat transfer) | foundation.thermal.thermal |
For fluid domains, polyphase electrical, position/angle-based mechanical variants, or any
domain not in the table, you must read: references/foundation/domain-selection.md.
