The StockPort is a composite connector and consists of an acausal connector with the Real potential variable stock indicating the stored amount in a reservoir and the Real flow variable rate indicating the rate of flow into (rate > 0) or out of (rate < 0) the reservoir.

There are also two Boolean output variables, which indicate whether draining the reservoir (stopOutflow) or filling it (stopInflow) is prohibited. Since a generic reservoir will have two ports it is possible to allow inflows and outflows on both ports (standard) or give the stock a clear direction of flow with one port serving as inflow and the other as outflow connector.

stock	Causality: None Type: Real Description: Current amount in the stock
stopInflow	Causality: Output Type: Boolean Description: = true, if nothing can flow into the stock
stopOutflow	Causality: Output Type: Boolean Description: = true, if nothing can flow out of the stock

rate	Type: Real Description: Flow that affects the stock
