How can we show constant value entering the action? (SysML)

[DominikS]

Hello,

In MATLAB/Simulink we have simply constant element which is the start of the flow.
How can I do it in the ACT diagram? I know it is possible in the PAR diagram but how about ACT?
Placing an Action which is outputing a constant looks strange, action is a function, function is not supposed to provide constant output.
I may have a generic action with set of inputs and in particular case I would like to pass constatnly the same value which is not an input to the top level diagram were I want to use considered action.

Best regards,
DominikS

Just a shot in the dark: can't you use objects to retrieve the constants?

Object Node? Sounds good! I always saw Object Node on a flow, not as a beginning of flow.
Should we then connect the control flow to that block?
Thank you.

It would be an object flow, I'd guess.
