Activate vs Modelica bus conversion? (for Include block)
Altair EmployeeHi everyone!
Wondering if anyone might have an idea about converting Activate bus to Modelica bus, this one might be a little tricky.
I want to use the very nice "IncludeDiagram" block in Activate, but I also want to use *both* Modelica and Signal input/outputs for the Include block; currently there is only either all Modelica (IncludeDiagramComponent) or all Signal (IncludeDiagram). For the signal output I want to use a bus. For the Modelica inputs/outputs I use electrical and thermal domain.
So, I wonder if I can use a a IncludeDiagramComponent and then convert an Activate bus to a Modelica bus (e.g. structureField to interface). I've been playing around, I haven't figured out a way to do this yet, wondering if anyone has an example that works.
Thanks,
Andy

Altair EmployeeHere's really what I wanted in the end - Using the Modelica Multiplex/DeMultiplex + Modelica interface blocks I can a single output into an Activate bus 
Well, I can answer my own question since I figured it out
I have a solution for this if I just directly create an Activate bus from Modelica inputs (rather than trying to create a Modelica bus).
It seems to work fine except that you cannot directly connect from a Modelica signal to an Activate bus input. If I manually enter the FromModelica block to connect, it works fine.
Attached is an example showing a couple of different ways to do this in case this helps anyone
