The more and more I practice using Modelica via OMNotebook or external sources, all of the practice is worked in the "Text View" of the OMEdit interface. Here, I learn and practice writing up algorithms, arrays, instances, inheritance etc. I understand that a lot of code can be reused for other purposes, which is also a huge advantage to the coding language of Modelica, but when does one use the block modeling of the "Diagram View" of the OMEdit interface? The OMNotebook rarely alludes to this portion of the software and I am struggling to find practice and importance of this side of the software.

Feel free to drop your thoughts and comments on this post to help me understand the full potential of this software. Thanks.
