Building Isothermal (SimHydraulics) parts in Thermal Fluid domain

Working on attempting to rebuild existing SimHydraulics models in the thermal liquid domain, which is going to require building certain components from the ground up.

For components with a detailed "under mask" look provided by Mathworks obviously this won't be difficult, however models that are code based this may be tricky without a fairly detailed look at the code used, which I don't expect to get.

Question is this: Has anyone ventured down this road yet with the new thermal liquid domain? If yes, how have you gone about it and have you had any success? Any recommendations?

It's six years later now lol ...

There is a conversion tool for upgrading to the new Isothermal Liquid domain (NOT the one you want).

The reason I mention this is that there is pretty good correspondence between the blocks in the Thermal Liquid domain and the Isothermal Liquid domain. Maybe it'll make your life easier.
