java.lang.Object
- xdevs.core.modeling.Coupling<E>

```
public class Coupling<E>
extends Object
```
Class for the couplings between components in the DEVS formalism. A coupling is a connection between two ports of two different components. The coupling is used to propagate the values from the output port to the input port.
