Alternatively, you can take the course on the MathWorks Self-Paced Online Courses website.

Hi @Jishnu,

It seems you are experiencing license-related issues while attempting to access the Multibody Simulation Onramp course. The error log indicates a "Cannot find license for simmechanics" message, which suggests that your license may have expired. You might need to request a trial to continue using the course.

However, there is an alternative method that does not require a license. You can access the course through the "Self-Paced Online Courses" platform. Please use the link below for the same:

I hope this helps.

Hi, This error comes from the online selfplaced course, using online simulink.

Thanks

Hi @Jishnu,

I understand that, please request for a free trial of Simscape Electrical to resume the course.

[Jishnu]

Why simscape electrical required for simscape multibody onramp?

[Jishnu]

Why its not working online through online simulink as mentioned on course?

Hi @Jishnu,

Thank you for correcting this. Here is an excerpt from the Onramp course documentation. This might be the reason your free trial for Simscape Multibody has expired, and you need to request a new one.

The self-paced online course should not fail due to a license error! So what is the solution?
