FIXME: The following is copied from HyVisual: A hybrid system is a continuous-time model that contains modal models. The top-level continuous time is provided with a director (also called a solver), represented by a green box, which represents the simulation engine that executes the model. A user constructs a model by dragging in actors from the actor library and connecting them. The model may be run from the toolbar or from the View menu. The duration of a run may be specified by double clicking on the director.
To construct a simple continuous-time model, try dragging a TimedSinewave actor from the sources library and a TimedPlotter from the sinks library (both sublibraries of the actor library) and connecting them by clicking and dragging from one port to another.
To construct a hybrid system, drag in a Modal Model from the utilities library. The following steps will configure the modal model:
