 Like [[Group|groups]], sub-systems are containers for [[Block|blocks]] and are used to make large [[Model|models]] more manageable and understandable. The sub-system also acts as a name space for the blocks that it contains, which means that it will determine the ID of the blocks and guarantee that there are never two blocks inside the same sub-system with the same name. Finally, sub-systems can communicate with other sub-systems through the use of [[Connector|connectors]]. Like [[Group|groups]], sub-systems are containers for [[Block|blocks]] and are used to make large [[Model|models]] more manageable and understandable.

 The top level sub-system is called the [[Root_sub-system|root sub-system]]. When a sub-system contains another sub-system, it is said to be the [[Parent_sub-system|parent]] of that sub-system. The top level sub-system is called the [[Root_sub-system|root sub-system]].

-The matrix of the [[Matrix_window|matrix window]] and the graph of the [[Graph_window|graph window]] benefit greatly from the use of sub-systems. A large model, with many [[Block|blocks]] becomes difficult to handle if it is not divided into sub-systems. Both the [[Interaction_matrix|matrix]] and the [[Box_diagram|graphs]] let you expand and collapse sub-systems, so that you can choose which sub-systems should be open. Once you have created a sub-system, you can expand it by clicking the {{:expand_subsystem.png}} button. To collapse the sub-system, click the {{:collapse_subsystem.png}} button. In the [[Title_bar|title bar]] of the windows you can select which sub-system to view from a drop down menu.+The matrix of the [[Matrix_window|matrix window]] and the graph of the [[Graph_window|graph window]] benefit greatly from the use of sub-systems.
