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 compartments and transfer blocks.
- Connector - When a block is used as an input for another block.
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.
Title bar
The title bar has short-cuts for common tasks:
 | Shows all relationships |
 | Shows only incoming relationships |
 | Shows only outgoing relationships |
Menu
To display the menu, right click anywhere inside the window. Note that the options to create charts and tables only appear if you have selected a simulation output.
| Time chart | Create a time chart with the currently selected outputs. |
| Scatter chart | Create a scatter chart with the currently selected outputs. |
| Histogram | Create a histogram chart with the currently selected outputs. Only available for outputs with probabilistic data. |
