Input definition

The input definition tab tab is used to define input material flow to this tracker process unit.

This parameter tab is based on the parameter matrix concept. Use the Add button to add a new row and the remove button to remove a selected row. The columns of the matrix are described below.

There will be one tracking material input port for every row defined in this tab. These ports must be connected to up-stream tracker process units or tracker material generators.

Material definition

This is the material definition of the input flow. The resulting tracking material input port can only be connected to tracker process units or tracker material gerators that produces the this material definition.

Port name

This is the name of the tracking material input port. If the typed name does not start with TMI, the component will prefix the typed port name with ‘TMI’.

Amount conversion

Amount conversion is used to transform the amount transferred from the previous tracker process unit to a new amount in this tracker process unit. The amount conversion value is multiplied with the amount in the previous tracker process unit to form the new amount in this tracker process unit. The value ‘1’ leaves the amount unchanged.

Amount conversion from port

If this parameter is checked, the amount conversion value is read from a port named CTR amount conversion factor where <PortName> is the name of the corresponding TMI port.

Topology independent

If this parameter is checked the tracking material input port becomes a virtual invisible port, where material can flow into the tracker process unit from any other tracker process unit in the tracker application.
