MoCustomComponent
This blocks allows users to define a component behavior in Modelica language.

Description
This block provides a generic interface for specifying its properties and defining its simulation function. The simulation function is specified as a Modelica code and stored as a block parameter.
The custom component, with implicit ports, can then be connected to other Modelica blocks.For more details, please refer to the section on Physical Component Modeling in the Extended Definitions for Advanced Users.For the parameters, 3 options are offered in Modelica language:
"Fixed" means that this is a constant and cannot change during simulation. In Modelica, this is expressed as: Parameter Real R=1;
"Fixed only at initialization" means that this value can change during simulation, but when the compiler tried to find the initial value this value must not change. In Modelica, this is expressed as: Parameter Real R(start = 1,fixed=true);
"Variable" means that this value can change during the simulation and during the initialization phase. In Modelica, this is expressed as: Parameter Real R(start=1); or Parameter Real R(start=1,fixed=false);
