adding capacitor to simscape

Hey everyone,

I for the life of me, can't find a way to connect a capacitor in the simscape simulink block? Does anyone know how to do this?

Any help will really be appreciated!

Do you have Simelectronics? Or Simscape Electrical I guess it is called now.

HI Walter,

Yes I do

Thank you for the reply!

You cannot combine blocks from the Simscape Electrical toolbox with the blocks under 'Specialized Power Systems'. One should reside to the regular Simscape Electrical blocks, or stay within 'Specialized Power Systems'. You could for example use the 'RLC Branch' and enter a C-value only to implement a capacitor in 'Specialized Power Systems'.

I personally avoid using 'Specialized Power Systems' altogether since the Simscape Electrical library integrates well with other Simscape components and domains. Reasons why anyone would still use 'Specialized Power Systems' in my opinion are:

• you are simulating only in this domain
• you need a very specific block in this library
• you have a legacy simulation model still using this domain
