Hi,

I created a new hydraulics domain featuring fluid temperature as an extra across variable in order to model a heat exchanger. I would like to define fluid density, and heat capacity as domain wide parameters.

The problem is that when I create a simscape block for a heat exchanger I will have two different fluids running through the block and these fluids do not have the same domain parameters. So in fact, I would like to be able to chose between which ports domain parameters are propagate.

Is there a way to handle this?

Thanks a lot for your replies.

You probably need to use the Propagation attribute. Have a look at the documentation:
