What function can I use to set the maximum output of a fluid processor on a custom code in process flow? I am using the FlexSim flow library not FlowWorks. In flow works there's model.find("abc").output.maxRate. But I can't figure out what node that is for the regular fluid items.
I am able to use getvarnum(Model.find("FluidProcessor1"), "maxportoutrate") to get the value but when i try setvarnum(Model.find("FluidProcessor1"), "maxportoutrate",5); it doesn't work.
It is the maxflowrate code. Try using the below code.
double FlowRate = 5;
Object FluidProcessor = Model.find("FluidProcessor1");
setvarnum(FluidProcessor,"maxflowrate",FlowRate);
@Arun KR Should I have my ticker set to a specific value for the processor to update? It updates in the properties pane but the output value on the 3D view doesn't change. So I am getting incorrect total kg output. It should be at least 1500 kg at the end of the model but it's only out-putting around 200 kg. fluid-flow-model.fsm
I want the fluid processor to act as a pump. The pump controls the output from the fluid tank. the problem is that the fluid processor needs a value for content but in reality it shouldn't matter the content.
Hi @Kari Payton,
Use a tank instead of Fluid processor and adjust the tank inflow and tank outflow the as that of the processor flowrate. It will work.

sweettttt. Thanks! That works better because it's not trying to hold the liquid.
