When simulating a model, you can manipulate simulation information not only in the Simulation window but in diagrams as well. For example, you can change runtime values or send a trigger directly on Part shapes and Port lablels. | Info |
|---|
| You can manipulate simulation information only in diagrams that are based on a Composite Structure Diagram. |
You can change the runtime values of Part properties and Port labels directly in diagrams the same way you change them in the Variables pane of the Simulation window. | Note |
|---|
| To display and change runtime values in diagrams, the Show Runtime Values on Part Shapes and/or Show Runtime Values on Port Labels animation options must be enabled. For more information, see Disabling and enabling animation options. |
To change runtime values on Part shapes or Port labels
- During model simulation, select a Part shape or Port labels and click a runtime value you want to change.
Enter a new runtime value and press Enter. The figure below shows how to change different types of values.

When you change runtime values of Value or Port Properties as described above, the simulation data is updated in real-time accordingly. When simulating a model, you can send a signal directly from a Part shape in a diagram the same way you would send it in the Sessions pane of the Simulation window. If it is possible to send a signal, a special button is displayed on a Part shape after selecting it.
To send a signal from a Part shape
- During model simulation, select the shape of the Part from which you want to send a signal.
- Click the signal icon next to the part shape as displayed below. If you can send more than one signal, the icons of all available signals are displayed.
