Notes

  1. An example of the set up of a hydraulic network can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/CalculiX/ccx_2.7/doc/ccx/node13.html
  2. The *FLUID SECTION card is used to model fluid elements for 1D flow. Information on the card can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/CalculiX/ccx_2.7/doc/ccx/node205.html
