Model output
Model output is a block where sub-systems ouputs are defined. A sub-systems can contain only one model output block.
A sub-system output is a block that has been marked to make it’s data available to other sub-systems. Any block that can be used in an expression can be marked to be an output, for example a parameter, a transfer, an expression or a general variable.
Two sub-systems can be connected with a connector if inputs and outputs have been defined for the sub-systems.
