Hi Rabbiul

It is my understanding that you would like to use Simscape library but are encountering difficulty locating it in MATLAB R2021a.

Before considering a reinstallation of MATLAB or Simscape, kindly verify the availability of a valid license for Simscape. To do so, open MATLAB and type the following command in the Command Window:

license('test', 'Simscape')

If it returns 1, it indicates the presence of a valid license; if it returns 0, there is no license for Simscape.

If you have a valid license, you can check whether Simscape is installed by typing the following in the MATLAB Command Window:

ver

This will list all installed products. Look for Simscape in the list.

If Simscape is not listed, you can install it using the Add-On Explorer in MATLAB.

• In the MATLAB toolstrip, go to the "Home" tab.
• Click "Add-Ons" > "Get Add-Ons" to open the Add-On Explorer.
• In the Add-On Explorer, search for "Simscape".
• If you find Simscape, select it and follow the instructions to download and install.

Hope this helps!
