modelCheckValveOutflow
Flow is only passed on if it drains the connected stock
Extends from Icons.Outflow (Icon for outflow classes), Interfaces.Basics.ThreeSO_rate (Generic information output for flow elements).

The CheckValveOutflow is actually a transceiver that simply passes on a connected flow if that flow drains the connected stock (portA). This will most often be relevant for more complex subsystems where the flows being connected may not be clear in advance and where this element allows to avoid unwanted filling.
Implementation
- The stock value received at the flow side and a potential boolean flag stopOutflow are also passed on to the stock port. Thus the model will behave as if the flow connected to the CheckValve were directly connected to the stock itself.
- The reported rate is a positive value indicating rate of outflow with regard to the connected stock A.
