FluidTerminator   

The fluidterminator is used to destroy fluid material once the model is done with it.

Details

The fluidterminator is the object that modellers use when they want to remove fluid material from the model without turning it into flowitems. The Terminator keeps track of how much of each different type of material it receives, with a few restrictions. It can only keep track of up to 14 different Product ID's. These should integers that are 1 or greater. The data it collects for each product id is displayed in the Class Statistics section of the Properties GUI's statistics tab.

The user has complete control of the input rates of the Terminator. This includes a function called "AdjustInputRates" that fires every tick. This function is used to change the input rates and scale factors during a model run. The modeller is not given control over the output rate because the material the Terminator receives is destroyed and cannot be sent downstream.

States

Collecting - The Terminator is never full and is always able to receive material, so it is always in a collecting state.
