When to Rebuild a Custom Library

You need to rebuild the custom Simscape™ libraries:

  • Whenever you modify the source files.

  • For use on each platform. Textual component files are platform-independent, but Simscape blocks are not. If you (or your customers) run MATLAB® on multiple platforms, generate a separate version of custom block libraries for each platform by running the sscbuild or sscmirror command on this platform.

  • For use with each new version of Simscape software. Every time you or your customers upgrade to a new release, you or they have to run sscclean and then rebuild the custom block libraries. For information on how to protect your proprietary source code when sharing the Simscape files with customers, see Using Source Protection for Simscape Files.
