Description
Distillation Column
Component
Distillation column component is a component of the petrochemical domain. This component builds a three-dimensional distillation column. Distillation column is build out of two different models (Column and stages). The component bases on the Geometry3dsComponent to load the geometry of the component into the scene (see Geometry3dsComponent). In order to build the Distillation column component, the following parameters are needed: offset, scale, number of stages and height of the column (See Figure Distillation Column)
In-slots
Name
Type
Description
visible
boolean
The component is shown when true and hidden when false.
transformation
matrix
This transformation matrix is applied to the component geometry when shown
Out-slots
Name
Type
Description
visible
boolean
The in-slot is propagated to the out-slot
transformation
matrix
This transformation matrix corresponds to the output transformation, which combines input transformation with the offset.

Description
iconFileName*
string
The filename of the icon shown for the component in the authoring environment.
offset
matrix
The offset transformation matrix between the transformation given by the in-slot and the geometry model
scale
double
scales the diameter of the column and the stages.
numberOfStages
integer
Number of stages of the distillation column.
height
double
Height is one applicable the column. It corresponds to the scale with respect to the original size.
