===== Function #2: System Composer’s Functions Editor =====

What it does:
The Functions Editor is a GUI within System Composer enabling you to visually manage component functions: add or remove them, set execution order, schedule initialization, and assign properties such as periods or stereotypes. Combined with addFunction, this gives both code-based and interactive mastery over software architecture modeling.

Why it’s useful for Design Engineering:
* Visual clarity—see and manage component behavior clearly, vital when working on complex systems.
* Fine-grained control—adjust execution order, initialization, and function arguments to refine system behavior before simulation or deployment.
* Bridges architecture to behavior—you can link these functions directly to Simulink or Simscape models, facilitating a clean design-to-simulation workflow.
