Continuous Time Structure Blocks

Continuous time structure blocks (CT structure blocks) can be used to build complex models by combining and linking other CT structure and CT basic blocks in a graphical block diagram. A slightly modified Block Diagram Editor (BDE) is provided for the specification of continuous time structure blocks refer also to Structure Blocks. The corresponding inputs and outputs are graphically connected with each other in the BDE.

A continuous time structure block is modeled as a block diagram with a fixed number of methods. In principle, the methods of the CT basic blocks are automatically applied and cannot be modified in the BDE. The functional description is tied to a single diagram. The correct computing sequence is also determined automatically and cannot be influenced directly.

For a simple example illustrating the use of CT basic ocks, their methods, and CT structure blocks up to the simulation in the experiment environment, refer to the tutorial (volume "Getting Started", chapter "Modeling a Continuous Time System").
