A virtual subsystem provides graphical hierarchy in models and does not impact the execution of a model. I once faced a problem where simulink reported, cannot solve algebraic loops. Suppose that you specify the number of iterations to be 2 2 and connect the output of this block to the control port of a functioncall subsystem. Select all blocks and lines that make up the subsystem, and then in the multiple tab, click create subsystem.
This can result in a onestep delay in returning signal values from calling functioncall subsystems. Virtual subsystems are used for imposing a logical structure of a model. Placing a scoped simulink function block within any subsystem block virtual or atomic limits access to the function and removes the function name from the global name space. Nothing inside except the default short of input to output. Virtual when the block resides within any subsystem block conditional or not, and does not reside in the root toplevel simulink window.
