| - | Modelica will assign classes to your Constraint Blocks. If the usage of the block is not assigned a name Sparx EA assigns it 'unnamed element'. Because Modelica doesn't like spaces within name it throws an error therefore you need to assign a name to each Constraint Block instance.

If you want to create a function, say range() then that's where you come in. Note the below created function is obsolete as min() already exists (at the time of writing this function I didn't know that...) |
