1 To change the values of model parameters before the first time step, set the Initial state to Paused.
2 Set the Decimation of the model rate.
3 Select the parameters you want to import as channels.
4 Select the signals you want to import as a channels .

Procedure {#section_ew4_1pv_mtb .section .mmpdf:paraDef:title_sub}

  1. Place a Simulation Model node on the mapping diagram.

    1. Click Software»Simulation Model.

    2. Place the node on the diagram.

    3. In the Open dialog box, select a simulation model and click Open.

  2. Configure the model in the Item tab.

    Note:

    If your model contains a vector inport or outport, set Vector port specificationas Segment into scalar channels or Maintain as vector channel.

  3. Wire the channels to create mappings.

  4. Save the system definition file.
