i want to calculate plots of currents and voltages of the electrical circuit elements for a nonlinear electrical source and to calculate the operational temperature of all elements assuming the thermal resitance model. thanks in advance

Build the system of ordinary differential equations for voltage on capacitor and current on inductance as state variables. Solve the system of equations using Adams-Bashfort-Moulton of the 4th order algorithm. Plot the current and voltage distributions on ALL elements on separate plots. Calculate the power disspating on each element during a period of time T. (Use Simpson’s 38 rule). Calculate the temperature of each electrical element in steady state using the given termal resistances and formula: Rth=ΔT/ΔP, where ΔT=T−Ta is the temperature between the element and the environment Ta, ΔP is the power disspating on the element. Assume that the surrounding environment has a constant temperature Ta=250oC.

How about solving the circuit (getting the plots) in Simulink using Simscape to model the non-linearities of the circuit elements.

You can use Simscape for measure the voltages and the current, having that, you can calculate de power dissipated and get the temperature.
