Loop Pad

In many instances, you will want to provide consumers of your models with simple loop diagrams. Loop diagrams are simple pictures that identify the cause and effect processes that work to generate dynamic behavior patterns. The software's Loop Pad Object enables you to create these pictures based on the underlying model structure.

This section documents the operation of the Loop Pad object. Figure 6-2 provides a road map for the section. As you will note, Loop Pad operations are divided into two categories: surface operations and dialog operations.
