ExtendSim Developer Reference

The Developer Reference reveals the ExtendSim integrated development environment (IDE) so that you can create, modify, and debug ExtendSim blocks. It is also useful when working with the equation-based blocks. The Developer Reference includes: * The parts of a block * A tutorial showing how to create a new block with a custom icon and dialog * An in-depth discussion of the ExtendSim ModL language structure and constructs * Descriptions of ModL programming tools such as include files and external source code control * Techniques for ModL programming and for interfacing ExtendSim with other languages * Creating 2D and 3D animations using ModL * The simulation architecture, including how ExtendSim runs simulations * Debugging block code using the Source Code Debugger * A complete description of all functions, variables, and message handlers
