Relevant connections for simulation

Connections that can be evaluated during simulation include

Some of these connection types have simulation-relevant control attributes. These attributes are evaluated during the simulation and control the simulation run. Before starting the simulation, it is recommended that you ensure that simulation-relevant attributes of the connections have been specified. The following list gives an overview of the connections and their source and target objects.
