Partial model extending from the →GenericFlow base class. This is a generic class for bi-directional flow components where the value for the rate at port A (A_rate) can be set by an equation.

Notes

• A positive rate is associated with a flow from the stock connected to port A (portA) to the one connected to port B, while a negative rate will indicate a flow from B to A.


• The rate of flow at port B is given by the equation B_rate = - A_rate.


• The flow-element will observe the stock-signals (e.g., stopOutflow or stopInflow) on both ports which may override the intended rate to give zero flow.

• Changed type for A_rate, B_rate to Real in v2.2
