The Collector aggregates multiple →StockPort connectors and essentially treats them as if they were connected to one joint reservoir (i.e., a collecting tank). The stock may be filled or drained via any of multiple stock ports (stockMultiPort) or the single stock port (stockPort).

Implementation

The joint reservoir is internally represented by a stock called collectingReservoir. It is declared with the prefix replaceable and may be redeclared as any of the following stock classes:

• InformationLevel


• MaterialStock


• CapacityRestrictedStock

Notes

• Each of the multiple stock ports will report the flow restrictions set by the internal collectingReservoir.


• The flow restrictions for collectingReservoir will be set as specified by the chosen stock class (e.g., no draining below zero for a MaterialStock) and with regard to the netflow of all flows connected to the stock ports.

Revisions

• Introduced in v2.0.0.


• Modifiers for y_flows given prefix each in v2.2.
