Are there any MATLAB Simulink models for Indirect Matrix Converters, especially Sparse Matrix Converter?

I have been looking for MATLAB Simulink models for Indirect Matrix Converters, especially Sparse Matrix Converter, but this is the only model that I found which is Direct Matrix Converter (DMC).

Could you please let me know of any examples or demo models for Indirect Matrix Converters (Sparse Matrix Converter)? Thank you.

Here are some resources and approaches you can consider:

Available Resources:

• File Exchange: Check the MATLAB Central File Exchange for user-contributed models or code related to IMCs or SMCs. Search using keywords like "indirect matrix converter," "sparse matrix converter," or "matrix converter model."
• MathWorks Examples: Explore MathWorks documentation and examples for matrix converter control, which might include insights or adaptable components for IMCs or SMCs.

Building Your Own Model:

• Simulink Blocks: Utilize Simulink's fundamental blocks (converter blocks, control blocks, etc.) to construct a custom IMC or SMC model based on theoretical concepts and mathematical equations.
• Simscape Electrical: If you have the Simscape Electrical toolbox, leverage its power systems components to model the converter topology and control algorithms for IMCs or SMCs.
• Research Papers: Refer to research papers and publications on IMCs and SMCs for detailed modeling approaches, block diagrams, and simulation results. These can guide your model development.

Thanks.

I already searched from the available resources and I could find only Direct Matrix Converters.

Also, building a model from scratch takes too much time.
