Signal Direction in Block Diagrams
The sequence of block computation can significantly influence the simulation result. You can
change the block sequence with the SHEET>DETERMINE BLOCK SEQUENCE command.
Using Automatic Block Sorting
When the automatic Block sorting mode in SHEET>DETERMINE BLOCK SEQUENCE is active, the
blocks will be sorted after simulation start according to their signal direction. If the automatic
block sorting is active, the «Build» Info Window displays a message after the simulation start.
Using Manual Block Sorting
