Specifying a Repeated Block from its Calculation Properties
You can use the Links page in a block’s Calculation Properties window to indicate that the block is a repeat of another block in the diagram. For more information, see Links Page.
1. In the diagram, double-click the block to open its Calculation Properties window.
2. On the Links page, under Repeated blocks, click Set Repeat. The Set Repeated Block window opens. For more information, see Set Repeated Block Window.
3. Complete this window and click OK.
Under Repeated blocks on the Links page, the status changes from This block is not repeated to This block is a repeat of X, where X is the identifier of the block which it repeats.
4. Click OK.
In the diagram, the block’s text box is updated. The Repeat of designation indicates the identifier of the block that it repeats.
Once RBD calculations run, you can view results for the repeated block on the Results page in its Calculation Properties window or in the Calculation Properties window for the block it repeats. For more information, see Calculations - Results Page.
The interactions that are possible are described in Interactions of Links and Repeat Blocks. To remove a Repeat of designation, see Removing a ‘Repeat of’ Designation.
