Creating your own Elements

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

In 20-sim you can easily create your own bond graph elements. The process of creation consists of three parts:

1.For any bond connected to your submodel an internal port has to be defined. For each port you have to specify some data:
The physical domain.
The size.
The orientation.
The causality.
2.Create the icon for the component. This can be done with a specialized drawing editor.
3.Create the element description. This can be done by (differential) equations or by a bond graph.
