Comments
- Node identifier is arbitrary; but can not be the same as an existing NODE identifier.
- Common nodes may be defined with more than one block.
- Common node identifiers are arbitrary and can not be the same as a NODE.
- The CNODE will be merged to the nearest selected NODE or CNODE.
- The CNODE merging will be done after each model transformation (Transforms).
- In case a CNODE cannot be merged to any NODE or CNODE, it will be replaced by NODE.
