Inputs Outputs Page   

Input Ports Table

Displays all of the objects currently connected to an input port of the Fluid Conveyor.

In Object - Displays the name of the input object.

Start Position - The start point of the input. This value is in the model's length units and must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than the end position.

End Position - The end point of the input. This value is in the model's length units and must be less than or equal to the length of the Fluid Conveyor and greater than the start position.

Allow Spillage - If this is checked, fluid will be allowed to spill at outputs if the downstream object cannot take as much fluid as the Fluid Conveyor is sending. Any extra fluid left at the end of the conveyor will also spill. Total spillage is tracked each tick.

Output Ports Table

Displays all of the objects currently connected to an output port of the Fluid Conveyor.

Out Object - Displays the name of the output object.

Exit Position - The exit point of the output. This value is in the model's length units and must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than the end position.

Forward % - This specifies the percentage of fluid that should exit at this output when the Fluid Conveyor is moving forward. The Fluid Conveyor will attempt to send the specified percentage of fluid through the output. If the downstream object cannot handle the total amount of fluid, it will pass the output, unless spillage is allowed, then the excess will spill onto the floor

Reverse % - This specifies the percentage of fluid that should exit at this output when the Fluid Conveyor is moving forward. The Fluid Conveyor will attempt to send the specified percentage of fluid through the output. If the downstream object cannot handle the total amount of fluid, it will pass the output, unless spillage is allowed, then the excess will spill onto the floor

Stopped Rate - The stopped rate specifies how much fluid should leave through the output when the Fluid Conveyor is stopped. For example, if the stopped rate is 0.1 and the material sitting on top of an output is 0.5, the output will take 0.1 fluid units per tick, until there is no more fluid available to take.
