MATLAB: How to create a new .ssc-File for Simscape Custom Component

Question

How to create a new .ssc-File for Simscape Custom Component?

I do not find a new file button for .ssc-files.

Answer 1

In R2019b and later releases, the function 'sscnewfile' can be used to create new '.ssc' files for custom Simscape components. See the following documentation for more information on 'sscnewfile':

In R2019a and earlier there are two possibilities:

1. Copy an existing ssc-file and change the content of it, so you can easily customize an existing component.

2. Create a new script in the MATLAB Editor, click "Save as", and manually change the file name to end with '.ssc'
