Using Internal Referenced Models (Submodels)

Referenced models that are internal to the model you are working with (i.e., the original components and the copied components are all part of the same model) are called submodels. You can use submodels to designate portions of the model for use in other parts of the model.

Before you can use a submodel, you must create it. You then add the submodel to the simulation process flow. To do so, you can use the Reference Component Editor, which allows you to update parameter values. Alternatively, you can use the model explorer, which allows Isight to configure the component automatically.

A change to a component within a submodel is normally reflected in each of the locations in which the submodel is used. However, you can also create non-referenced (independent) copies of submodels as described in Copying Components.
