Switch to filling
Overview and Key Concepts
The Switch to filling activity closes the output side of the specified object(s) and
opens the input side. It can be considered as a shortcut for a call to openinput(),
closeoutput() followed by a recalculation request of the flow rates.
Connectors
The Switch to filling activity only allows one connector out. See Adding and Connecting Activities for more information.
Properties
The following image shows properties for the Switch to filling activity:
Each of these properties will be explained in the following sections.
Name
Used to change the name of the activity. See Name for more information about this property.
Font
The Font button
opens a window to edit the activity's
background color and font properties. See
Font for more information
about this property.
Statistics
The Statistics button
opens the activity's statistics
window. See Statistics
for more information about this property.
Object(s)/ Group / Array
Use the Object(s) / Group / Array box to specify the object(s) you want
the activity to affect. You can specify a single object (using the eyedropper tool or a model.find()
command), an object group (flat or nested) or an array of objects and/or groups. When a token
enters the activity, the expression will be parsed recursively such that arrays of groups or groups will
be properly handled.
