Multiblock

A multiblock is essentially a group of circuits within a diagram that encapsulates a subset. It is therefore possible to include several multi-blocks in a single diagram, or even to nest multi-blocks within one another. Therefore, an architecture with greater depth can be defined, with the following benefits:
  • A hierarchical organization in the schematic editor can be based on a multi-layer structure for an easy navigation
  • It simplifies diagram display by minimizing the number of blocks visible in the main window.
  • Specific interfaces with specific inputs and outputs improve integration and interaction within the block diagram.
To create a multiblock, right-click on the block or group of circuits you want to include in the multiblock, then select "Create Multiblock"

After creating the multiblock, assign it a name and confirm by clicking "OK"

Once created, on multiblock can be added in the library of available models, and reused in different schematics across different project templates.

To connect the multiblock to the rest of the schematic, inputs and outputs need to be added. Double-click on the multiblock, then add connectors from the palette.

You can adjust the port multiplicity by double-clicking on the number displayed on the port.
