FlowPortUsed to represent stock and flow connections |
This information is part of the Business Simulation Library (BSL). Please support this work and ► donate.
The FlowPort is the counter part to the StockPort and contains an acausal connector with the Real potential variable stock
indicating the stored amount in a connected reservoir and the Real flow variable rate
indicating the rate of flow into the connected stock (rate < 0
) or out of the connected stock (rate > 0
).
There are also two Boolean input variables, which indicate whether draining the connected reservoir (stopOutflow
) or filling it (stopInflow
) is prohibited. These signals originate with the connected stock.
stock |
Causality: None Type: Real Description: The current amount of 'matter' in a connected stock |
---|---|
stopInflow |
Causality: Input Type: Boolean Description: = true, if nothing can flow into a connected stock |
stopOutflow |
Causality: Input Type: Boolean Description: = true, if nothing can flow out of a connected stock |
rate |
Type: Real Description: Flow that affects the stock |
