Connection Port - Create Physical Modeling connector port for subsystem
Library
Utilities
Description
The Connection Port block, placed inside a subsystem composed
of SimMechanics blocks, creates a SimMechanics open round connector port
on the boundary of the subsystem. Once connected
to a connection line, the Port becomes solid
.
You connect individual SimMechanics blocks and subsystems
made of SimMechanics blocks to one another with SimMechanics connection lines, instead of normal Simulink signal
lines. These are anchored at the open, round connector ports
. Subsystems constructed out of SimMechanics blocks
automatically have such open round connector ports. You can add additional
connector ports by adding Connection Port blocks to your subsystem.
Dialog Box and Parameters
- Port number
This field labels the subsystem connector port created by this
block. Multiple connector ports on the boundary of a single subsystem
require different numbers as labels. The default value for the first
Port is 1.
- Port location on parent subsystem
Choose here on which side of the parent subsystem boundary the
Port is placed. The choices are Left or Right.
The default choice is Left.
