Do not use an ideal inductor. Set the Series Resistance property to 0.05 to mimic a real coil. This prevents simulation crashes caused by "singular matrix" errors.
Add properties:
When using a third-party Proteus LM2596 library, you will encounter errors. Here is how to fix them. proteus lm2596 library
If your Proteus version lacks LM2596:
Since Proteus is proprietary software, you cannot simply copy-paste from the internet. You must either use the built-in Pick Devices window or import a third-party library. Do not use an ideal inductor
Set up a Transient Analysis:
What to probe:
This is the heart of the buck converter.
