Basic Block Interfaces

The elements (interfaces, storage elements) for modeling continuous time basic blocks are slightly different from those used for discrete modules or classes. The following element types are available:

Inputs
Outputs
Continuous states
Discrete states
Steplocal variables
Parameters
Dependent parameters
Constants

Each element type can have different dimensions, scopes, and data types. The figure shows the various data types (and their associated icon) and the available methods for working with these data.
