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.

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.
