Simscape is a physical modeling environment from MathWorks for modeling and simulating multidomain physical systems within the Simulink environment.[1] It supports building models by connecting physical components through physical connections (e.g., electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and thermal) and integrating those models with Simulink block diagrams for system-level simulation and control design workflows.[1]
Simscape can be extended with custom component models authored in the MATLAB-based Simscape language.[2] According to MathWorks, Simscape also supports C-code generation for deployment to other simulation environments, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems.[1]
Overview
[edit]Simscape is designed for modeling physical systems using a schematic of connected components, where connections represent physical interactions rather than signal flow.[1] MathWorks describes Simscape as enabling rapid creation of physical system models inside Simulink by assembling fundamental components into a schematic (for example, electric motors, bridge rectifiers, hydraulic actuators, and refrigeration systems).[1]
Independent engineering textbooks and monographs describe Simscape in the context of teaching or applying physical modeling within MATLAB/Simulink—for example in mechatronic system modeling and simulation.[3]
Simscape language
[edit]MathWorks provides a text-based, MATLAB-based language (the Simscape language) for defining custom physical modeling components, domains, and libraries that integrate with Simscape block libraries.[2] The documentation describes a workflow in which custom components are defined as textual files with parameterization, physical connections, and underlying equations, and can reuse existing physical domain definitions to ensure compatibility with standard Simscape components.[2]
Product family
[edit]MathWorks groups Simscape within a broader Simscape product family, describing add-on products that provide specialized component libraries and analysis capabilities for different domains (such as electrical power systems or multibody mechanics).[4] (Simscape itself provides the core physical modeling environment within Simulink.)[1]
Applications
[edit]Simscape is used as a modeling and simulation tool in applied engineering contexts covered by independent publications, including:
- Mechatronic systems: A Springer monograph presents Simscape as a tool for developing mechatronic system models across multiple engineering domains.[3]
- Hybrid and electric vehicles: A Springer book focuses on applying Simscape to modeling systems and subsystems relevant to hybrid and electric vehicles and states that it uses Simscape as the primary tool for developing those models.[5]
- Dynamic systems education: A CRC Press textbook (as described in its book preview metadata) notes that it introduces MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape and uses them throughout for modeling and analysis of dynamic systems, including applications ranging from mechanical to thermal systems.[6]

- Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
- Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
- Essay-like writing
- Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
- Close paraphrasing
Please address these issues. The best way is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.
