MATLAB: Where can I find the “Two-Way Connection” block in R2020a

blockSimscapesimulinktwoway

Using my models in R2020a , I am not able to find the Simscape block "Two-Way Connection" in the Library Browser. How can I add the "Two-Way Connection" block to my model in R2020a ?

Best Answer

The two-way connection has been removed from the Simscape Utilities library, but is still fully supported. The Two-Way Connection block is now part of Simulink. You can add the Two-Way Connection block to a model from the MATLAB command-line:

add_block('built-in/TwoWayConnection','MyModel/myBlockName')

Note that the Two-Way Connection block can also be found in the Powertrain Blockset and Vehicle Dynamics Blockset libraries, see the documentation here:

MATLAB: How to use the ADD_LINE command with SimMechanics blocks

SimMechanics models can be created from the MATLAB Command Line, but a special syntax is used to represent the ports. The ports should be described as 'LConn<number>' and 'RConn<number>', where 'number' indicates the position on the block. The following example creates a small sample model with two connected blocks:

new_system
open_system(gcs)
add_block('mblibv1/Joints/Revolute',[gcs,'/Revolute'])
add_block('mblibv1/Joints/Revolute',[gcs,'/Revolute1'])
set_param(gcb,'Position',(get_param(gcb,'Position')+[0 60 0 60]))
add_line(gcs,'Revolute/RConn1','Revolute1/LConn1')

MATLAB: How to keep the model up to date when using blocks from the Obsolete Three Phase Library and Additional Machines library in SimPower Systems 4.1.1 (R14SP3)

The two sublibraries "Additional Machines" and "Three Phase Library" of the Extra Library have been obsoleted in SimPowerSystems 4.1.1 (R14SP3) , and are removed in SimPowerSystems 4.2 (r2006a). You can use the PSBUPDATE function on your model to update it to make the old blocks' ports compatible with the new ones.
