Discrete Events and Mode Charts
Model discrete changes in system behavior
Physical modeling, in general, involves continuous variables and equations. In some cases, however, you can simplify the mathematical model of the system and improve simulation performance by treating certain changes in system behavior as discrete. To get started, see Discrete Event Modeling.
Mode charts provide an intuitive way to model components characterized by a discrete set of distinct operating modes. Every time you model a component with multiple operating modes and transitions, this component is a good candidate for a mode chart implementation. To get started, see Mode Chart Modeling.
