Controllers

Introduction

In general, controllers are used to change chamber and/or element inputs while the solver is running. You can use them in Steady and Transient analysis. Use controllers to gauge a variable(s), apply a calculation (for example, a transfer function), and then manipulate a variable(s).

Flow Simulator has three types of controllers.

1. Feed-forward Controller (create using “Controller” from the Element Library)
2. Mission Controller (create using “Controller” from the Element Library)
3. PID Controller (create using “PID Controller” from the Element Library)
