The SplitOutflowDynamicStock is used to model the outflow from a stock with inherent dynamic behavior(e.g., a conveyor or a higher-order delay). In these cases, the stock will set the rate of flow and "signal" it via its →StockPort_Special.

The total outflow is split proportionally according to given weights either given as a vector of parameters or as a vector of inputs u.

Notes

The proportional split is done using fractions derived from the weights as described for the converter →ProportionalSplitFactors.

Parameters (4)

weights	Value: ones(n) Type: Real[n] Description: Vector of weights according to which the total outflow is split proportionally
n	Value: 2 Type: Integer Description: Number of flows to split the outflow into
hasConstantWeights	Value: false Type: Boolean Description: If true then the weights are given by the continuous input u
shiftInputs	Value: false Type: Boolean Description: = true, if all weights are to be shifted to prevent negative values, otherwise negative values are simply set to zero (fractions.shiftInputs)
