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.
