Creating Iconic Diagrams

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

When you understand the concepts of across and through, including orientation, constructing an iconic diagram is easy:

1.Create an ideal physical model.
2.Select the components that represent the various parts of the ideal physical model and drag and drop them to the 20-sim editor. Iconic Diagram components can be found in the model library. Some standard components are shown in the tables of this tutorial.
3.Connect the components according to the ideal physical model.
4.Compile the model and run a simulation. For a good interpretation of the plots, you must know that across variables are always defined with respect to a global reference and through variables are always defined with respect to the components.
