Description

Block Open Circuit It is a completely isolated contact, that is, the current through it is identically zero.

You can use this unit as a plug for electrical ports on other units that you want to leave unplugged.

You can also use this block to set the initial value of the potential at the circuit node.

Variables

Use the parameter group Initial Targets to set the priority and initial target values for the block parameter variables before modeling. For more information, see Configuring physical blocks using target values.
