EngineeringComponentconnectsEngineeringComponentsA fundamental concept that applies in many engineering domains. An EngineeringComponent is an EngineeringElement that is a physically whole object, such as one might see listed as standard parts in a catalog. The main difference betweeen EngineeringComponents and arbitrary globs of matter is that EngineeringComponents are object-like in a modeling sense. Thus, an EngineeringComponent is not an arbtrary subregion, but a part of a system with a stable identityengineeringSubcomponentTerminalFn
