FluidDispose

Accepts the incoming flow and disposes it (removes from the system).

It is a typical end block of a Fluid Library flowchart. Accepts flow at any rate.

You can connect no more than one block to the input port of the FluidDispose (unlike PedSinkPedSink, etc.)

Parameters

Animation

Show batches in flowchart
If set, the block icon will display the batch color.
Syntax: boolean showBatchesInFlowchart

Actions

On new batch
Action executed when a new batch appears at the input. It will not necessarily start flowing into the block.
Local variable: Object batch — the batch
On rate change
Action executed when the flow rate changes.
Changing something in the action may result in another immediate rate change and immediately following another call of On rate change, so the user can possibly create a livelock.
Local variable: double inrate — the current input rate
