Hello everyone,
II’m just starting to explore the Fluid objects in FlexSim. Most of my operations are simple transfers or processes with possible losses.
However, in some cases my process actually generates additional fluid.
Input: 1 m3
Output: 1.14 m3 (Ratio = 1.14, i.e. +14% mass gain)
Using Loss Value → works only for losses (0…1), not gains.
Capturing On Output Change (or On Input Change on the downstream tank) in a ProcessFlow and pushing the extra fluid via FlexScript (pushfluid() or addcontent()). This seems promising, but I’m not sure what is the cleanest approach to avoid timing issues (e.g., fluid already moving downstream before the extra is added).
My question:
What is the best practice in FlexSim Fluid to model such “mass gain” processes, where output flow > input flow (ratio > 1, e.g. Input 1 → Output 1.14)? and how do you handle synchronization so that the extra fluid follows the same path/timing as the base flow?
Any insights, examples, or best practices would be very welcome
