ABSTRACT:
In a graphical modeling environment, bus signals, which group a plurality of signals together for simplifying a model, include a partial or complete physical definition. Models are simplified by passing bus signals through graphical objects representing functional entities, without degrouping the bus signal. During simulation of the model, code can be generated for the bus signal having a complete definition independent of other components of the graphical model.
