New features and changes introduced in this version are
Code generation has been implemented for models that include Simscape™ and SimHydraulics® blocks. For more information, see Generating Code in the Simscape documentation.
Version 2.0 contains new block libraries of fundamental thermal elements, sensors, and sources:
The new Physical Signal blocks introduced in Version 2.0 are listed below:
In Version 2.0, various solver improvements have led to improved simulation performance:
Enhanced handling of dependent dynamic states (higher-index DAEs)
Simscape can now handle dependencies among the dynamic states as long as they are linear in the states and independent of time and inputs. This allows you, for example, to connect capacitors in parallel (even with their parasitic series resistances set to 0), inductors in series, and so on.
Significant reduction of the number of equations, which substantially increased simulation speed
The typical speedup of your models is between 5 and 10 times. There are some models that are below and above this range. Also, the number of states and equations changed between releases. This means that you will have to reset any calculations that relied on the states (such as initial state setting).
The changes to the simulation technology are significant. You may find that some of your models may require different or tighter tolerances to converge, while others will require no change. Refer to the troubleshooting section in the User's Guide for help in finding the cause of a problem if simulation failed.
The following demos have been added in Version 2.0:
Demo Name | Description |
DC Motor Thermal Circuit | The demo illustrates how the thermal behavior of a motor can be simulated in lumped parameters. |
Round Rod Heat Conduction | The demo illustrates the usage of thermal blocks for developing a model of a long iron rod that is heated with a heat source through its left face. The right face and the outer cylindrical surface are open to atmosphere, with a force heat convection. |
