Model output

Model output is a block where sub-systems ouputs are defined. A sub-systems can contain only one model output block.

A sub-system output is a block that has been marked to make it’s data available to other sub-systems. Any block that can be used in an expression can be marked to be an output, for example a parameter, a transfer, an expression or a general variable.

Two sub-systems can be connected with a connector if inputs and outputs have been defined for the sub-systems.

From the Projects window

• Right click the sub-system for which to define model outputs and select Model output from the pop-up menu.

From the Matrix window

• Right click an empty diagonal cell of a sub-system in the matrix and select Model output from the the pop-up menu.

The block editor is shown by right-clicking the block in a window and selecting Edit. In the Blocks window, you can also show the block editor by selecting the block and clicking the button, or by double-clicking the right-most “validation” column of the block.

The block editor has three tabs:

This page lets you edit basic properties such as name, sub-system and base unit. See editing properties for more information.

This page lets you edit the visual properties of the block in the Matrix window. See Editing appearance for more information.
