The StockPort is a composite connector and consists of an acausal connector with the Real potential variable stock indicating the stored amount in a reservoir and the Real flow variable rate indicating the rate of flow into (rate > 0) or out of (rate < 0) the reservoir.
There are also two Boolean output variables, which indicate whether draining the reservoir (stopOutflow) or filling it (stopInflow) is prohibited. Since a generic reservoir will have two ports it is possible to allow inflows and outflows on both ports (standard) or give the stock a clear direction of flow with one port serving as inflow and the other as outflow connector.
Components
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real | stock (from StockPort) | Current amount in the stock | |
| Real | rate (from StockPort) | Flow that affects the stock | |
| Boolean | stopInflow (from StockPort) | = true, if nothing can flow into the stock | |
| Boolean | stopOutflow (from StockPort) | = true, if nothing can flow out of the stock |
