Information

This information is part of the Business Simulation Library (BSL). Please support this work and ► donate.

This component is typically used to build submodels where the information regarding the amount in a connected stock needs to be extracted from an outside FlowPort.

For example, the FlowPortSensor is used inside the SourceOrSink component ExponentialGrowth, where the level information is needed for the stock as it will be multiplied with a fractional rate to obtain the actual rate for the component's flow into the stock.
