Learn more about block, password, lock, protect, simulink, mask block simulink. When you refresh the model, you see a change in the link badge. I would then like for those changes to propagate through models that reference blocks from the library. To compute the integrator blocks output, simulink software needs to know the value of the blocks reset signal, and vice versa.
