Customizing supercomponents

Component Customization allows you to customize supercomponents as well as submodels. In this section there are two examples.

In the first you construct a system which models a cam using Mechanical and Signal, Control and Observers library components. You then convert it to a supercomponent. This produces the same answers as the standard submodel CAM00. However, it is not very convenient to use. To overcome this you customize it so as to make it appear very similar to CAM00.

In the second example you use a customized cam in a supercomponent of an inlet and exhaust valve of a cylinder head. You then customize this to have two levels of customization.

It is useful but not essential that you have some experience of using the Icon Designer in Simcenter Amesim and/or Submodel Editor.
