Rotational Port
Purpose
Add rotational flange to subsystem
Library

Description
Rotational ports are used to establish rotational mechanical connections between a schematic and the subschematic of a subsystem. If you copy a Rotational Port block into the schematic of a subsystem a terminal will be created on the subsystem block. The name of the port block will appear as the terminal label. If you choose to hide the block name by unselecting the show name option in the block menu the terminal label will also disappear.
Terminals can be moved around the edges of the subsystem by holding down the Shift key while dragging the terminal with the left mouse button or by using the middle mouse button.
Note Since you cannot make mechanical connections in Simulink, PLECS does not permit to place rotational ports blocks into top-level schematics.
