Description

Port elements (Electrical port, Signal input port, and Signal output port components) are used to connect internal Subsystem elements to the outside schematic. For every port which is added, a corresponding terminal is created in the outer Subsystem element. Port properties can be set using the Port dialog window, which can be accessed by double-clicking the port element.

For more information on how to use subsystems to simplify models as part of a multi-level modeling approach, please refer to the Subsystem elements page.
