Creating a Submodel

You create a submodel by specifying which existing components in the model will be included in the submodel. You can make individual application components into a submodel. You can also create a submodel from a process component, in which case all of the components (application and process) in the process component’s subflow are included in the submodel.

    Isight adds a reference component at the location of the component, and a dotted line runs from below the Reference component to the original component. In the following example, the Read I-Beam Data Exchanger component has been made into a submodel.



    At this point, the model and its simulation process flow are unchanged. You have designated the selected component for future use as a submodel.
