Viewing a Pipe in the Browser

The browser view of a Pipe pathway is shown below:

The Properties folder contains all the inputs for the Pipe. If Matrix Diffusion or Stagnant Zones exist, subfolders are added for these. The Inflows and Outflows folders contain all of the mass flux links for the Pipe.

Note: Element inputs and outputs are only shown in the browser if you choose to Show element subitems (accessed via the browser context menu by right-clicking in the browser).

The pathway's mass and concentration outputs are listed first. Note that for a Pipe, the concentration always refers to that in the Reference Fluid.

The Properties folder contains the basic inputs for the Pipe, including the two subfolders containing the matrix diffusion zone and stagnant zone properties. (Note that these subfolders are not shown if these zones are not being simulated.) With two exceptions (listed below), you can create a link to any of these property inputs using the Link Cursor.

Note that the Species input and the Reference Fluid input also appear in the Properties folder. The Species input is automatically linked to the nearest Species element when the Pipe is created. Similarly, the Reference Fluid input is automatically linked to the nearest Reference Fluid element when the Pipe is created. These links cannot be changed using the Link Cursor, and are displayed for information purposes only.

If the Pipe has any mass flux links associated with it, the corresponding inputs and outputs for these links are organized into the Inflows, Outflows, and Diffusive Influxes folders. These folders are not shown if they are empty.
