Sensed internal variables and lines
You can sense an internal variable on a non-direct line, meaning a submodel should be associated with it (HLLW0 in the example below):
Figure 429: Sensing internal variables on a line
When you select a checkbox and click OK, the line is converted into a component:
Figure 430: Sensing the internal variable of a line
Figure 431: Line converted to component
Note
The component reverts to the previous line with its submodel if you manually deactivate all the sensed variables, or if you use the Undo feature to do so.
