If you had Proteus open during this process, close the software completely and relaunch it. This forces the software to re-index its database and compile the newly added files. Simulating the LM2596 in Proteus
The simulation model allows you to place a Pulse Current Source or a switched resistor load at the output. You can then use the Analog Analysis graph in Proteus to see exactly how much the voltage drops (Voltage Sag) and how long the LM2596 takes to recover to the set voltage.
: Useful for high-quality 3D CAD models if you are focusing on PCB 3D visualization. Installation Steps To install the library, follow these standard steps: lm2596 library for proteus top

A "top" library for Proteus isn't just about simulation; it must also map to a PCB footprint. The LM2596 is typically available in (through-hole) or TO-263-5 (SMD).
To add the LM2596 to your Proteus 8 Professional environment, follow these steps: You can then use the Analog Analysis graph
The LM2596 can handle up to 40V input (ensure your model supports this).
