Names of Components and Variables
User-defined names can be given to all components (internal components, C models, macros,
nodes, ports and variables). Names may consist of letters, digits, and underscores and can
have a maximum of 50 characters.
Vowel mutations (umlauts) and spaces are not allowed. All names are case sensitive.
The first character must always be a letter.
The following are not allowed for names:
• SML notation keywords
• Simulation parameters
• System variables
Unit Suffixes of Numeric Data
Numeric data can be entered in Schematic component dialogs and in the Text Editor, using
the following unit extensions:
