I understand that you want a way to find the components used in a Simscape Model.
If the original Simscape model is available then you can get to know the details of each block by double clicking on the respective blocks. Alternatively, you can use the “find_system” command to get a list of all the blocks used in the model.
On the contrary, if the model is not available and you only have a screenshot of it then you can shorten the search for components using the color of the block in the model. Each color represents a different physical domain in Simscape.
To get the details of mapping of color to its respective domain you can navigate to the “debug” tab and then click on the “Information Overlays” dropdown and click on “Simscape Legend” to open the legend. From the Legend you can shorten the search to that particular physical domain in the MathWorks documentation.
Once the name of the block is found you can use it in the model by double clicking on the canvas and entering the block name and press “Enter” button to insert the block.
Here is an example using “find_system” to list all blocks in a model named “example_model”:
find_system(“example_model”)
For more information on usage of “find_system” & “Domain-Specific Line Styles” you can refer to the following MathWorks documentation links :
- “find_system” - https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/find_system.html
- “Domain-Specific Line Styles in Simscape” - https://www.mathworks.com/help/simscape/ug/domain-specific-line-styles.html
And finally, the components in the given image are:
- Mechanical Translational Reference
- PS Sine Wave
- Ideal Force Source
- Mass
- Check Valve
- Hydraulic Resistive Tube
- Double-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder
Hope this helps.
