Complex systems are easily modelled by encapsulating blocks in hierarchical Drill down into your simulation to reveal deeper levels of local complexity.

VisSim simplifies the design cycle by letting you build system models in the form of block diagrams. Slide
blocks off the Blocks menu and into the work area, and wire them together with the mouse. Then use cut,
copy, paste, align and rotate commands to arrange blocks precisely where you want. Pop-up dialogue boxes
