Description

A block with its own diagram inside. It starts with one input wired straight to one output. Double-click it to open and edit the inside.

Drop a wire on the block to add a port, or add, rename, retype, and reorder ports in the inspector. Copies share their contents until you choose Make unique.

Example

Subsystems A gain and a filter grouped into a subsystem with an input and an output port, next to an empty subsystem.

Ports

Inputs 1

in1u1signal

Input 1 (in1). Inside, its Subsystem input block drives the diagram.

Outputs 1

out1y1signal

Output 1 (out1). Inside, its Subsystem output block collects the result.

Equations

Modelica

y1 = u1 (the initial contents: in1 wired to out1)

Implementation

The block’s Modelica model

y1 = u1;

Tips

To group existing blocks, select them and press ⌘/Ctrl + G; each wire crossing the selection edge becomes a port.
Promote an inner parameter with ↑ so each instance can set its own value.
