You can export to Modelica file only parts, ports, and connectors displayed in the Internal Block Diagram. The mechanism generates Modelica (.mo) file with an IBD name and save it to your file directory. See the following figure as example of export result and difference between whole (exporting Block) and partial (exporting IBD) model export. After the Circuit IBD export, only displayed parts are exported: Source, Resistor, Capacitor and Ground. Differently, when exporting the Circuit Block - all parts are exported: Source, Resistor, Capacitor, Inductor, Resistor and Ground. Learn how to export the whole model >>
