Hi Abdullah,

It is my understanding that, you can see red dashed lines while connecting the blocks in Simulink and Simscape Electrical. The red dots means you can't connect the to blocks together.

• The red dash mean you cannot connect the two blocks together. I assume that would be due to the wrong connections between blocks made or extra connections done, or it might be connected to only one block.

It looks like a difference between Simscape Electrical (blue components), and Simscape Electrical Specialized Power System (black components)
