ExogenousChange can be used to model an inflow to a stock from a source or an outflow from a stock to a sink. In either case it is assumed, that the source or sink has infinite capacity and thus lies outside the border of the system in focus. By convention, a positive rate will fill the connected stock, while a negative rate will drain it. The rate of flow is determined by the real input u.
