Adding Multiple Copies of Subsystems or Custom Components to a Model  

If you plan to add multiple copies of a subsystem to a model and want all of the copies to have the same configuration, create a subsystem definition.  See Converting a Subsystem into a Shared Subsystem.

 

If your model contains a subsystem definition or custom component, you can add multiple copies of that subsystem or custom component to your model from the Local Components tab ( ).

To add multiple subsystem or custom component copies to your model:

• 

From the Local Components tab ( ), drag a subsystem or custom component definition icon into the model workspace. A unique subscript number is appended to the name of each copy that you add.

 

It is also possible to have multiple copies of a subsystem in a model that don't share a subsystem definition.  These are called standalone subsystems.

For more information about shared subsystems and standalone subsystems, see Creating and Managing Subsystems in Chapter 2 of the MapleSim User's Guide.
