Defines a set of output (state variables) that Adams Solver recognizes as system output during an Adams Linear simulation. When you run any other type of simulation, the plant output acts only as a pointer to the list of the specified variables.

Both function expressions and user-written subroutines can access the plant output:

■Function expressions access the values by using the Adams Solver function POUVAL(i1,i2), where i1 specifies the plant output ID, and i2 specifies the i2th variable in the plant output list. Note that i2 is not the ID of the variable.

■User-written subroutines access single elements of the plant output list and call the subroutine SYSFNC to access all values for a POUTPUT by calling the subroutine SYSARY (see the Subroutines section of the Adams Solver online help).

Note:

Variables can appear in more than one plant output. This allows you to output two or more sets of state matrices at the same time.

■Ways to Use Plant Input and Output

For the option:	Do the following:
Plant Output Name	Enter the name that you want assigned to the plant output.
Adams Id	Assign a unique ID number to the plant output. See Adams Solver ID.
Comments	Add any comments about the plant output to help you manage and identify it. See Comments.
Variable Name	Enter the list of variables.
