US Patent 10585997 Automatic grouping of signals of a model

A device receives a selection of signals associated with a model, and analyzes the selected signals to identify signals, of the selected signals, that can be grouped into a semantically viable aggregation. The device receives an instruction to create a block for the identified signals. The device provides a block to group the identified signals into a semantically viable aggregation with a particular number of inputs, a particular number of outputs, a particular size, a particular position, and a particular orientation, in relation to the model, based on the identified signals, and provides the block in the model.
