Description

Block Perfect Insulator It is a thermoelectric element with zero thermal conductivity and no thermal mass.

You can use this unit as insulation for thermal ports to prevent heat exchange with the environment and simulate an adiabatic process. This is not necessary, because if you leave the save port unconnected, the physical network will set all end-to-end variables on this port to 0. However, terminator blocks improve the readability of diagrams.

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.
