Automatically create port connections

[chao_gao]

How can I automatically create connections from one object to multiple objects?

In my simulation model, I manually created connections between a queue and many rack objects. It's quite time consuming. I am sure there is an automatic way, maybe using some code in a script to realize this?

Manual Connections

You can manually make multiple connections by connection to or from a group of selected objects. simultaneously by Shift or Ctrl selecting a group of objects (which puts red boxes around them) and then dragging a connection to or from the selection group. All members of the selection group will have the connection made.

Create Connections Programmatically

You can also make connections programmatically using the command contextdragconnection(). The following sample function call will create an 'A' connection from Source2 to Queue3:

contextdragconnection(node("MODEL:/Source2"), node("MODEL:/Queue3"), "A");
