Used to sum or multiply values, or finding the maximum or minimum value, of a non-scalar Block. When the target object is 2-dimensional, you must specify which index list to perform the operation on.
From the Projects window
From the Matrix window
From the Blocks window
Note | Most block properties can be edited directly in the Blocks window. |
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.
The values page let you select the target object and which operation to perform.
Operation - Choose the operation to perform. You can compute the sum, the product, the minimum or the maximum value of an object.
Object - Select the object to perform the operation from this list of all the available non-scalar objects.
Index List - When you select a 2-dimensional object, you specify here which index list to perform the operation over.
The expression doses is two dimensional. At a specific time point is has the following values:
Contaminant | Person | Value |
---|---|---|
Lead | Man | 4 |
Arsenic | Man | 1 |
Mercury | Man | 6 |
Lead | Woman | 3 |
Arsenic | Woman | 8 |
Mercury | Woman | 6 |
An index operation which finds the maximum over the Person indices would yield:
Contaminant | Value |
---|---|
Lead | 4 |
Arsenic | 8 |
Mercury | 6 |
