I'm working on powerharvesting and modelling in the mechanical and electric domains. The link is a piezoelectric stack. I thought I'd build my own piezoelectric block in simscape since we don't have all the packgages but matlab doesn't recognize the ssc_build command.
I also can't find if this would be part of a separate / more complete simscape license. I was told I have all packages installed my university has licenses for. It also doesn't show up in the local help file.
What's the deal?

Hi,

ssc_build is included with the Simscape license. I would verify the following:

- Which release are you using? ssc_build exist since only a few releases
- check the output of the "ver" command to see if Simscape is installed.
- execute "which -all ssc_build" to see if it is on your path.
- Are you able to run the Simscape demos?
- if you type "doc ssc_build" does the ssc_build documentation opens?

If you can run the Simscape demos and see ssc_build in your documentation , I recommend contacting tech support. Send them the exact error message you receive and above info, they should be able to help.

Hi,

The current simscape version is 2.1. I googled a bit and it seems ssc_build is only present as of version 3.1 or so? (since that's where I found "Viewable and Customizable Source Files for Foundation Library Blocks" as an addition in the release notes).

Luckily I did manage to make a nicely functioning subsystem which does the same, although a dedicated block with the right equations would probably compute more quickly.

Thanks for the help
Pieter
