-====== 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.
