of component parameters on the sheet is opened. The definition in this menu is valid only for
the selected parameter. Please note: The display settings are available only for component parameters,
not for simulator outputs.
To select more than one entry in the list press the CTRL or SHIFT key and click all entries you
want. Then click with right mouse button in the list and select «Show». See also 11.2.2 “Displaying
Names and Parameters of Components and Connections” on page 347.

Simulation Outputs for a Component – The Output Columns
If you select one or all of these boxes you define the corresponding output of a parameter. You
can define an analog online output for Display Elements or the View Tool, and an offline output
(.sdb file) for the DAY Post Processor or external programs. See also 12.1 “Representing
Simulation Results” on page 365.
Properties of Nodes – The Nature/Data Type Column
The entries in this column show the data type of both the component parameters and simulation
outputs. If the element has conservative nodes, the column shows the nature of them.
You cannot modify the entries in this column.
Additional Information – The Info Column
The text lines in the «Info» column are modifiable of the user. The text is displayed when you
select «Complete» as display option for an entry.
The «Library» tab shows the model library allocation and the model type identification. You
cannot change these settings.
In addition, if the model has more than one modelling description, you can define the used
descrition for simulation, SML or VHDL-AMS. For VHDL-AMS models, you can select the
used architecture. See also “Creating Models in VHDL-AMS in the Model Agent” on page 492.
3.3.5 Using Additional Modeling Functions
In a simulation model, you can use components specified with parameters and included in a
wiring topology to describe your simulation problem. Standard simulator functions and component
parameters are available for defining parameters.
Schematic also offers additional functions to influence a model description, for example using
simulation parameters, using SML text, defining initial values, using simulation state, and deactivating
components.
