Specification Choices / Comments

This interface is used by several solids transfer operations including Charge (Solids), Transfer In (Solids), Transfer Out (Solids), Pull In (Solids), and Pull Out (Solids).

In Design Mode, the value of the Maximum Allowable Working / Vessel Volume is used for sizing the vessel. If multiple operations in the same procedure recommend sizing values, the procedure selects the maximum.

In Rating mode, the value of the Maximum Allowable Working / Vessel Volume acts as a constraint that generates a warning when it is violated.
