Hello,
I want to make a recirculation to fluid mixer changing the recipe and the steps but it does not admit any fluid.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hello Oscar,
When FluidMixer1 is empty, you close its input:
The red line below shows that the input of FluidMixer1 is closed:
Later in your logic you need to add an instruction to reopen this input, otherwise it will always stay closed.
Yes sir, I think I should not have uploaded the updated version of the model. From the process flow I reopen the input and the red line disappears but the fluid mixer still does not admit liquid.
This seems to be a bug where the mixer tries to take the first fluid for the second recipe from the port it received the first fluid through in the first recipe.
So it is trying to take in fluid through port 1, but the splitter is set to only send to the second mixer.
As a workaround I redid the port rankings and simply switch the first and second input between the recipes so the first fluid is always received through port 1. (For easier testing I had removed the seemingly unnecessary splitter, you will have to add it back if it's important for the larger model. I also changed the pipe colors for easier debugging.)
Hello,
I have been working with my model based on what you sent and ended up failing again.
I modified your model a bit, just by modifiying the recipe, but I didn´t touch the ports or process flow. Now, it doesn´t work properly.
I don´t undertand what is happening.
