FIR Filter in Simulink

Hello all,

I'd like to ask my class to design a FIR filter in Simulink using only basic elements, like delays, adders and multipliers. The problem I'm having, is that for any filters of reasonable length, say > 40 taps, it is very tedious and messy to lay down 40 delay elements and wire them all up.

Is there a more streamlined way of doing this, which lets the students learn the structure of an FIR and not used built-in black box FIR filters?

Thanks, Rich
