Model Components
Learn about the components in Activate models.
- Diagrams
  A diagram is an assembly of blocks, links, annotations and other components inside of a model.
- Blocks
  The block is the main component for constructing diagrams.
- Custom Blocks
  The Activate library includes a palette of customizable blocks for defining behavior as required for a variety of systems.
- Super Blocks
  A super block is an encapsulation of multiple blocks into a single block.
- Links
  Links connect the assembly of blocks in a diagram.
- Contexts, Initialization and Finalization
  Define Context, Initialization and Finalization .oml scripts for your model.
  - Context
    A context is an OML script for defining variables in a diagram.
  - Initialization Script
    An initialization script provides a means for you to define OML variables and functions for a simulation.
  - Finalization Script
    A finalization script provides a means for you to define OML commands that are to be executed at the end of a simulation.
