Simlink example “Heat Conduction Through Iron Rod”

Hello,

I’m struggling a little bit with the Simlink example “Heat Conduction Through Iron Rod”.

Unfortunately, the example can’t be loaded via “openExample('simscape/HeatConductionThroughIronRodExample')”.

Maybe this is because of my older Matlab Version (2021b).

Is more detailed documentation of the example available?

I can’t identify every library component. Subsequently, I added an image with the unclear components.

Best regards

Steffen

From Left to Right : T_5 is To Workspace block it is connected to Demux block which is connected to Scope.

Cyl 2 (not entirely sure but you can try modelling, i don’t have license to try) is normal port which has multiple elements connected to it.

And no that’s the only explanation available in the documentation unfortunately.

Hi,

I have another problem with the simlink example https://de.mathworks.com/help/simscape/ug/heat-conduction-through-iron-rod.html

I opened it in Matlab online. However, there are some errors:

it says: Cannot activate configuration set '_TmpConfiguration'.

Caused by:

Error using HeatConductionThroughIronRodExample (line 29)

Method 'update' is not defined for class 'SSC.SimscapeCC' or is removed from MATLAB's search path.

When I try to open one of the .slx examples some elements are broken: It says the library "fl_lib" is not found. One should install simscape.

However in the Add-Ons list simscape is marked as installed?!?.

@Matlab: can you please fix this?
