How can I get SimHydraulics?

I need to use SimHydraulics to model the system my team is developing for our senior capstone project and I can't figure out how to add it to Matlab 2012b. I'm using my university's license and I feel like I'm being cheated because I can't easily acquire this functionality. If the package includes SimMechanics, why not SimHydraulics??

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

SimMechanics is an optional extra-cost product for all licenses (other than the rare complete site license.) It is not even included in any Student Version license. Therefor if your university has a license for SimMechanics it is because they have specifically paid for it.

Likewise, SimHydraulics is optional extra cost for all licenses.

You are not using a Student Version license, or else you could not be using R2012b (which is not available in Student Version). So you must be using your university ACADEMIC license. Your university will have a site contact for arranging to add additional licenses (or authorizing an already-paid license for your use.) The site contacts are often also responsible for internal distribution of the software. If you do not know who your site contact is, then Mathworks support can tell you who to contact at your site.

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation.
