Maximum Content -The maximum amount of fluid material that this object can hold at any time.
Initial Content - The amount of material that is in the object when the model is reset.
Initial Product - This opens the Initial Product Window which allows the modeler to define the Product ID and sub-component mix of the material that is in this object.
Adjust Output Rates - This function is called every tick and allows the user to change the output rates and scale factors during a model run. There are access variables that are references to the nodes that hold the rates and scale factors. To read the current rate (object or port) the getnodenum() command should be used. To change the rate the setnodenum() should be used. To read or change the scale factors getnodenum() and setnodenum() should be used in conjunction with the rank() command.
Generator Refill
These properties affect how the object refills itself as the model runs.
Refill Mode - This selects the type of refill the Generator performs. It can refill itself continuously (at a specified rate) or it can refill itself completely after it becomes empty.
Refill Rate - The rate at which the Generator refills itself. This is available if Continuous Refill is selected in the Refill Mode drop-down list.
Delay Time - The time that the Generator waits after becoming empty before it completely refills itself. This is available if Refill When Empty is selected in the Refill Mode drop-down list.
Output Ports
These properties affect how the object sends material to downstream objects.
Maximum Object Rate - The maximum rate that material will leave this object through all output ports combined.
Maximum Port Rate - The maximum rate that material will leave this object through any one port.
Output port scale factor - Each row of the table is the scale factor for a single output port. The value is multiplied by the maximum port rate to determine the actual maximum rate for that specific port. This allows the modeler to change the rate of individual output ports during a model run.
