How to change flow direction in simscape

How can I create a port in a constant volume block in MATLAB Simscape (using the MA domain) that is oriented 90 degrees to the flow direction? Please provide recommendations.

Hello @정수 이,

There is no such option or parameter in the 'Constant Volume Chamber (MA)' block which can enable you to specify/create a new port which is oriented 90 degrees to the flow of direction.

A possible way to achieve this can be to to create custom component or generate custom blocks from simscape component files. To get started you can refer the following links:

• Custom Components
• Custom blocks from Simscape Component Files
• Creating custom component from existing blocks

Hope it helps!

Thank you for your response. Creating a custom model seems a bit challenging for me. Is there a way to achieve this using the existing blocks? I would like to simulate the phenomenon where the flow is delayed due to a 90-degree change in direction. It would be great if you could share any related examples or methods. Thank you!
