Hello,
I’m new to Matlab-Simulink. I cannot directly connect the generic battery block to the simelectronics blocks in the model. To achieve this, I first connected the voltage measurement block to the generic battery terminals, and then its output signal to the controlled voltage sensor block. However, the voltage I receive this way is the initial voltage value of the generic battery and does not decrease over time depending on the load. To ensure this voltage decrease, I connected a controlled current source as a load to the generic battery. I connected the signal I received from the current sensor on the Simscape side to the input of the current source. But this gave the following algebraic loop error.
Is there a different way to connect the generic battery block to the simscape blocks without getting an algebraic loop error?
Thanks for any help.
Best Regards

Block diagram ‘DronePropellerMotorBattery_v5’ contains 1 algebraic loop(s). To see more details about the loops use the command Simulink.BlockDiagram.getAlgebraicLoops(‘DronePropellerMotorBattery_v5’) or the command line Simulink debugger by typing sldebug(‘DronePropellerMotorBattery_v5’) in the MATLAB command window. To eliminate this message, set Algebraic loop to "none".

Solver is encountering difficulty in simulating model ‘DronePropellerMotorBattery_v5’ at time 1.1125369292536007e-308. Simulink will continue to simulate with warnings. Please check the model for errors.
Caused by:
Solver was unable to reduce the step size without violating the minimum step size value of 2.22507E-308 for 1 consecutive times at time 0. This usually may be caused by violating algebraic constraints in the differential-algebraic system or by the high stiffness of the system. Try tightening the error tolerances, and/or the tolerances for computing consistent conditions. If the problem persists, please check the system or increase the solver Number of consecutive min steps violation parameter.
