US Patent 11853690 Systems and methods for highlighting graphical models

Systems and methods may highlight paths through graphical models having executable semantics. Paths through a model leading from a starting location and terminating at final source and/or destination model elements may be identified. The paths may be highlighted. A model may include hierarchical levels, and the highlighting may be extended into lower or higher hierarchical levels relative to a current level. A model may execute over a plurality of simulation time steps, and the highlighting may indicate model elements executing in a given simulation time step.
