The code work fine better ,the problem which i am facing is when the update is done the input port of fluid mixer number will changes from 1 to 2 once this happens the fluid is not flow from input port 2.I don't know why the fluid is not flowing from input port 2 when the output content of fluid mixer reaches 100.

Hi Gilbert,

I think you have not set Port No properly in coding.

I have changed the setnodenum(port2,2).

Sorry for the long delay in getting you an answer. I've been looking into your model, and I believe the issue has to do with when the recipe is getting updated.

With some testing, I've been able to get fluid moving into the Fluid Mixer after the recipe changes. However, it seemed to be using the old data for the first step and the changed data for the second step. I think it has something to do with when another variable of the Fluid Mixer is updated - the currentsteptable variable. I will need to do some more testing, but I think this variable is getting updated with data from the first step before the recipe table is changed. I will let you know what I can come up with after I look into it more.
