Working with Element Connections in a Model
After elements are in a model, you can draw connectors, add flows, and attachments.
- Connectors: Show visual links between elements.
- Flows: Show material flow in and out of elements.
- Attachments: Associate measurements with flows and other elements.
The Element templates hold definitions for how the ports of an Element participate in connections and attachments. These rules include the following:
- Type of port - Input, Output, or Undirected.
- Maximum number of connections on a port.
- Types of elements that are allowed to connect.
- Port that is the default.
Refer to the following \topics for more details and instructions on working with Element Connections.
