Connection Port

A port for physical subsystem communication.

connection port

Description

The Connection Port block connects non-directional components of a physical subsystem. These components are used in physical models with electricity, magnetism, gas, isothermal liquids, mechanical models and others.

The software assigns port numbers to the Connection Port block according to these rules:

  • Connection Port blocks in a top-level system or subsystem are numbered sequentially starting with 1.

  • If you add a Connection Port block, it is added with the next available number.

  • If you delete one of the Connection Port blocks, the numbering of the remaining Connection Port blocks is retained.

Ports

Output

Port - untyped non-directional output port

Untyped non-directional output port.

Dependencies

The output signal type depends on the type of physical model to which the unit attached to the Port belongs. For example, electricity, heat, magnetism, gas, isothermal liquid, and other.

If Inherit: Auto is selected for Connection type, the connection type is automatically determined.

Parameters

Main

Connection type - connection type
Inherit: Auto (by default) | AcausalElectricPowerSystems.ThreePhasePort | AcausalFoundation.Electrical.Pin | AcausalFoundation.Thermal.Port | …​

The type of connection of the Connection Port block to the physical model block. If the selected value of the Connection Port parameter does not match the physical model, the connection between the Connection Port block and the physical model block to be connected will not be built.

The following values of the Connection Port parameter are possible:

  • Inherit: Auto - automatic detection of non-directional port type. It is recommended to use this value so that the port type is set according to the components used.

  • AcausalElectricPowerSystems.ThreePhasePort - three-phase electricity.

  • AcausalFoundation.Electrical.Pin - electrical.

  • AcausalFoundation.Thermal.Port - heat.

  • AcausalFoundation.Mechanical.Translational.Flange - translational mechanics.

  • AcausalFoundation.Mechanical.Rotational.Flange - rotational mechanics.

  • AcausalFoundation.Gas.Port - gas.

  • AcausalFoundation.IsothermalLiquid.Port - isothermal liquid.

  • AcausalFoundation.Magnetic.Port - magnetism.

  • AcausalFoundation.ThermalLiquid.Port - thermally conductive liquid.

  • AcausalFoundation.MoistAir.Port - moist air.

  • AcausalFoundation.MoistAir.SourcePort - source of moisture and gas impurity.
