- | ====== Relationships window ====== | ||
- | |||
- | Select **Window | Relationships** to access this window. | ||
- | |||
- | The relationships window displays relationships between blocks in the model. Three types of relations are displayed: | ||
- | * Reference - When a block is used in an equation for another block. | ||
- | * Transfer - Connections between [[compartment|compartments]] and [[transfer|transfer blocks]]. | ||
- | * Connector - When a block is used as an input for another block. | ||
- | |||
- | This window serves a similar purpose of the information window, but with a graphical interactive approach. It is useful to see how the different blocks are related and also, when used together with the result window, for debugging models. | ||
- | |||
- | To create a relationship graph, select the block of interest in some other view. The window now updates to show the selected block as well as all blocks it has direct relations with. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Trailing ==== | ||
- | |||
- | When a graph has been created, relatives of the selected block may display a small plus (+) symbol in the upper left corner. Clicking this button will add all the relations with the clicked block. This way you can navigate and trail the relationships from a given block. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Direction ==== | ||
- | |||
- | By default all relations of the selected block are displayed, but you can choose to show only incoming or outgoing relations by clicking the corresponding title bar buttons or by right-clicking and choosing the direction from the popup menu. | ||
