I have a user-created object in my model and want to update a state variable in the main model from
within that object. ** NOTE: This is an extension of the SimBit ProcessModelWithinModel.spfx.

Instance Property, ProcessStation, Release Step, Resource, Seize Step, Station Element, Submodel,
Transfer Step, State Property
Assumptions:
The SimBit ProcessModelWithinModel.spfx is used as a baseline for this example. The steps show how
to add a state property reference to an object so that a state in the main model can be appropriately
updated.
Technical Approach:
A state type property will be utilized within the user-created object. Once the object is placed in a
model, the property will then reference the state defined within the model.

Open the SimBit ProcessModelWithinModel.spfx and review the corresponding *.pdf file for
