Component Prototype

Description

Slider Valve component is a component of the petrochemical domain. This component builds a three-dimensional Slider Valve. Slider Valve is build out of two model (Wheel and Tube). The component bases on the Geometry3dsComponent to load the geometry of the component into the scene (see Geometry3dsComponent). In order to build the Slider Valve component, the following parameters are needed: offset, scale, number of rows, number of columns and the particular information of each element, a detailed description is shown on the table. (See Figure Slider Valve)

In-slots

Name

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.
