simscape library not displayed, not available for type-to-insert

Hello,

I have simulink and simscape installed. In a previous version of matlab i created some blocks using the Hydraulic library from the Foundation Library and stoerd the in my own library. Those blocks work still in matlab 2024b.

But when I try to add a block from the Hydraulics library by typing in the simulink editor, let's say the hydraulic reference block, it is not found.

I investigated the library browser and within the foundation library of simscape, the Hydraulic labrary is missing. Only this one.

I opened the foundation library using right click --> open... and the Hydraulic lib is there!

I tried renaming it to Hydraulics and then it appears in the library browser. BUT now all my old blocks are now broken because the path to the Hydraulic blocks is wrong. so this renaming is not an option. Additionally, the lib is distributed among my colleagues, so renaming is out of question.

I tried to illustrate my steps so far below.

I'm not aware, that the name "Hydraulic" is used elsewhere, although my blocks' names start with 'hydraulic_' sometimes.

Does anyone have an idea, where to look or what to do?

Regrads,

Tobias

Edit:

I just realized, that the help states, that the Hydraulic library will be removed in a future release. Maybe this is the first step...

Hey @Tobias Huth,

As you have updated, it seems like the Hydraulic library is being removed. I came across the following documentation resource on how to replacing the Hydraulic models with the Isothermal Liquid blocks:

https://in.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2024b/simscape/upgrading-hydraulic-models-to-use-isothermal-liquid-blocks.html

Hope this is a good place to start to get your model back up and running

Hey Jacob,

I guess this is it.. But the way the oncoming removal is communicated is not as user-freindly as i'm used to...

Anyways, have a great day,

Tobias
