Scilab list that contains the features of the block used for the compilation.

Size : 23.
Type : Scilab list.

- sim
  A list containing two elements. The first element is a string containing the name of the computational function (C, Fortran,or Scilab). The second element is an integer specifying the type of the computational function. Currently type 4 and 5 are used, but older types continue to work to ensure backward compatibility.
  For some older case, sim can be a single string and that means that the type is supposed to be 0.

  Size : 2.
  Type : Scilab list.

- in
  A vector specifying the number and size of the first dimension of regular input ports indexed from top to bottom of the block. If no input port exist in==[].

  The size can be negative, equal to zero or positive :

  - If a size is less than zero, the compiler will try to find the appropriate size.

  - If a size is equal to zero, the compiler will affect this dimension by added all positive size found in that vector

  - If a size is greater than zero, then the size is explicitly given.

  Size : number of regular input ports.
  Type : column vector of integer numbers.

- in2
  A vector specifying the second dimension of regular input ports indexed from top to bottom of the block.
  in with in2 formed then the regular input sizes matrix.
  For compatibility, this dimension can stay empty ([]).
  That means that the dimensions of input ports will be in,1

  The size can be negative, equal to zero or positive :

  - If a size is less than zero, the compiler will try to find the appropriate size.

  - If a size is equal to zero, the compiler will affect this dimension by added all positive size found in that vector.

  - If a size is greater than zero, then the size is explicitly given.

  A vector specifying the number and size of the first dimension of regular output ports indexed from top to bottom of the block. If no output port exist out==[].

  - If a size is equal to zero, the compiler will affect this dimension by added all positive size found in that vector

  - If a size is greater than zero, then the size is explicitly given.

  Size : number of regular output ports.

- out2
  A vector specifying the second dimension of regular output ports indexed from top to bottom of the block.
  out with out2 formed then the regular output sizes matrix.
  For compatibility, this dimension can stay empty ([]). That means that the dimensions of output ports will be out,1

  That dimension can be negative, equal to zero or positive :

  - If a size is less than zero, the compiler will try to find the appropriate size.

  - If a size is equal to zero, the compiler will affect this dimension by added all positive size found in that vector.

  - If a size is greater than zero, then the size is explicitly given.

  Size : number of objetcs parameters.
  Type : list of scilab object.

- blocktype
  Character that can be set to 'c' or 'd' indifferently for standard blocks. 'x' is used if we want to force the computational function to be called during the simulation phase even if the block does not contribute to computation of the state derivative.
  'l', 'm' and 's' are reserved. Not to be used.

  Size : 1.
  Type : Character.

- firing
  Vector of initial event firing times of size equal to the number of activation output ports (see evout). It contains output initial event dates (Events generated before any input event arises). Negative values stands for no initial event on the corresponding port.

- dep_ut
  Boolean vector [dep_u, dep_t].

  - dep_u
    true if block is always active.
    (output depends continuously of the time)

  - dep_t
    true if block has direct feed-through, i.e., at least one of the outputs depends directly (not through the states) on one of the inputs. In other words, when the computational function is called with flag 1, the value of an input is used to compute the output.

  Size : 2.
  Type : Boolean vector.

- label
  String that defines a label. It can be used to identify a block in order to access or modify its parameters during simulation.

  Type : string.

- nzcross
  Number of zero-crossing surfaces.

  Size : Number of zero-crossing surfaces.
  Type : column vector of integer numbers.

- nmode
  Length of the mode register. Note that this gives the size of the vector mode and not the total number of modes in which a block can operate in. Suppose a block has 3 modes and each mode can take two values, then the block can have up to 23=8 modes.

  Size : Number of modes.
  Type : column vector of integer numbers.

- equations
  Used in case of implicit blocks.
  Data structure of type modelica which contains modelica code description if any. That list contains four entries :

  - model
    a string given the name of the file that contains the modelica function.

  - inputs
    a colunm vector of strings that contains the names of the modelica variables used as inputs.

  - outputs
    a colunm vector of strings that contains the names of the modelica variables used as outputs.

  - parameters
    a list with two entries. The first is a vector of strings for the name of modelica variable names used as parameters and the second entries is a list that contains the value of parameters.
    Names of modelica states can also be informed with parameters. In that case a third entry is used to do the difference between parameters and states.
    For i,e : mo.parameters=list(['C','v'],list(C,v),[0,1]) means that 'C' is a parameter(0) of value C, and 'v' is a state(1) with initial value v.

  Size : 5.
  Type : scilab list.
