However, when you move from a theoretical circuit diagram to a virtual simulation environment like , you hit a common roadblock: The LM2596 is not included in the default Proteus library.
If your package includes a LM2596.MDF or .MODEL file, copy it into the MODELS folder. lm2596 library for proteus top

Introduction The LM2596 is arguably one of the most popular step-down (buck) switching voltage regulators in the electronics hobbyist and professional community. Its ability to handle up to 3A of output current with efficiencies up to 80% makes it a go-to component for power supply designs, battery chargers, and embedded system power stages. Its ability to handle up to 3A of
