To define a new physical domain, you must declare the Through and Across variables associated with it. For more information, see Basic Principles of Modeling Physical Networks.
A domain file must begin with the domain keyword, followed by the
domain name, and be terminated by the end keyword.
Domain files contain only the declaration section. Two declaration blocks are required:
The Across variables declaration block, which begins with the
variables keyword and is terminated by the end
keyword. It contains declarations for all the Across variables associated with the domain.
A domain model class definition can contain multiple Across variables, combined in a
single variables block.
The Through variables declaration block, which begins with the
variables(Balancing = true) keyword and is terminated by the
end keyword. It contains declarations for all the Through variables
associated with the domain. A domain model class definition can contain multiple Through
variables, combined in a single variables(Balancing = true)
block.
For more information on declaring the Through and Across variables, see Declare Through and Across Variables for a Domain.
The parameters declaration block is optional. If present, it must begin with the
parameters keyword and be terminated by the end
keyword. This block contains declarations for domain parameters. These parameters are
associated with the domain and can be propagated through the network to all components
connected to the domain. For more information, see Working with Domain Parameters.
For an example of a domain file, see Declare a Mechanical Rotational Domain.
