16.5 Modeling Structure

This section describes the use of blocks, parts, and ports for modeling of the distiller’s structure and behavioral allocation.

16.5.1 Defining Distiller’s Blocks in the Block Definition Diagram

Figure 16.18 is a block definition diagram for the distiller system. The diagram shows the block named Distiller, which is composed of a block named Heat Exchanger, a block named Boiler, and a block named Valve. The composition relationship shows that the Distiller is composed of one Heat Exchanger that fulfills the role condenser, one Boiler that fulfills the role evaporator, and one Valve that fulfills the role drain.
