## Force Gate

The **Force Gate** is a logical circuit element used to override and control binary values in a connected circuit. It allows users to force specific logic values during simulation, enabling effective testing, debugging, and custom behavior analysis.

Unlike standard logic gates, the Force Gate does not compute outputs based on logical operations. Instead, it directly applies a user-defined value to the connected input.

>Properties that can be customized in the **PROPERTIES** panel include: **Direction, BitWidth**
