square of AC voltage in simulink ???

hi there,

I am new to simulink world !!!

I want to generate a block for electrostatic force which is proportional to v^2. where v is ac voltage. I have take a AC voltage block, have taken the math square function block, but I could not connect them. any suggestions ???

thank you in advance.

regards,

Normally you cannot connect physical signal ports to simulink signal ports. In such cases you should use either PS-Simulink converter or Simulink-PS converter which you can find under Utilities of your Simscape library.

hi, thank you for answering. I have tried to connect the following blocks. AC Voltage source -------> PS-Simulink Converter -------> Math Function

the first connection does not work :(

any further suggestions ???

thanks...

At the moment I don't have the license for Simscape but normally you connect the positive end to signal converter and the negative end to ground. What's the error now?
