Generates a constant value at each step. You specify the constant value in the dialog (the default constant is 1). If the input is connected, the input value is added to the constant in the dialog. This block is typically used for setting the value for the inputs to other blocks. For example, you can use it for a steady flow of fluid, cash, or a delay time value.
Note: If the Constant value field is left blank in the dialog, this block will output a Novalue. Outputting a Novalue is useful in some situations because most blocks will ignore NoValues. For example, when you want to start a Mean and Variance calculation only after a certain amount of simulation time has passed, send NoValues to the Mean and Variance block until you want calculations to occur. If you had input zeros into the Mean & Varience block, its' sample size would grow, whereas NoValues will be ignored.
Dialog Choices
Constant value: Value for the constant (may be positive or negative).
Connectors
The input connector allows you to add a value (either positive or negative) to the Constant value.
The output is the sum of Constant value and the input, if there is one.
