MATLAB: SimHydraulics (Simscape) automatic block connection

Question

Hello, I'm using simscape and simhydraulics and i desperately need to connect simHydraulics (and some SimScape) components automatically, i.e. like add_line() for simulink blocks. I know that there are some comments that it is not supported for simscape, or , like in here: http://blogs.mathworks.com/seth/2010/01/21/building-models-with-matlab-code/ But maybe something changed since that.

Answer 1

That's still the case, add_line is still undocumented and therefore, unsupported. However, if you look at the documentation for port_label, it's not difficult to infer what the syntax is for using add_line with physical ports. I have used it myself successfully, but it does mean that this syntax may change in the future (since it's undocumented).
