are resistors and capacitors in simscape library ideal?

I have modelled a supercapacitor which is in simple words an RC circuit connected like in a transmission line. Now i want to check the losses in the circuit when i use that model in any application. I would like to know if i use the resistors and capacitors in the simscape library give me the losses by default or are they ideal and i have to add any other element in order to get the power loss from them.

 thanks

If you are using the Simscape Foundation Library:

then the resistors and capacitors are ideal.

If you use Simscape Electronics:

you could possibly add other effects like thermal noise etc.
