Connection Port

A port for communication of physical subsystems.

blockType: PMIOPort

Path in the library:

/Physical Modeling/Utilities/Connection Port

Description

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

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

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

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

  • When deleting one of the blocks Connection Port numbering of the remaining blocks Connection Port saved.

Ports

Conserving

# Port — untyped non-directional output port
electricity | heat | magnetism | gas | Isothermal liquid | thermal liquid | rotational mechanics | translational mechanics

Details

Untyped non-directional output port.

Dependencies

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

If for the parameter Connection Type value selected Inherit: Auto, then the connection type is determined automatically.

# Connection Type — connection type
Inherit: Auto | AcausalElectricPowerSystems.Converters.TwelvePhasePort | AcausalElectricPowerSystems.Converters.FourPhasePort | AcausalElectricPowerSystems.ThreePhasePort | AcausalFoundation.Electrical.Pin | AcausalFoundation.Thermal.Port | AcausalFoundation.Mechanical.Translational.Flange | AcausalFoundation.Mechanical.Rotational.Flange | AcausalFoundation.Gas.Port | AcausalFoundation.IsothermalLiquid.Port | AcausalFoundation.Magnetic.Port

Details

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

The following parameter values are possible Connection Port:

  • Inherit: Auto – automatic detection of the type of non-directional port. We recommend using this value so that the port type is set according to the components used.

  • AcausalElectricPowerSystems.Converters.TwelvePhasePort

  • AcausalElectricPowerSystems.Converters.FourPhasePort

  • AcausalElectricPowerSystems.ThreePhasePort – three-phase electricity.

  • AcausalFoundation.Electrical.Pin – electricity.

  • AcausalFoundation.Thermal.Port – it’s warm.

  • 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.
