Power Electronics Blocks Not Working After Installing MATLAB R2025a (Simscape Electrical Issue)

Hi everyone,

I'm having a really frustrating issue with my new installation of MATLAB R2025a. I recently purchased the student version, which is supposed to include Simscape Electrical, (even I had to buy it separately) and everything seemed to install correctly.

The problem is, when I try to use some of the power electronics components in Simulink, a pop-up window tells me that "Simscape Electrical is not available." This is preventing me from doing any of the assignments for my "Power Electronics" simulation course.

What makes this especially confusing is that the trial version of R2025a worked perfectly. All the Simscape Electrical blocks were fully functional. I'm not sure if I missed a step during the installation or if something went wrong, but it's really disappointing that the paid version isn't working as well as the free one.

I've attached some screenshots to show the exact error message. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

What do you get if you try

license('test', 'Power_System_Blocks')

?

If the answer is 0, contact MATLAB support:

It means that no licence for Simscape Electrical is available.

Thanks for the tip! I just reinstall and solve it.
