6.7.3 Swash Plate Piston Pump Model
The section describes the operating parameters for the swash plate piston pump model and conditions specified for the boundaries and volumes.
The Swash Plate Piston module is automatically added in the Model Panel (see, Figure 6.412), when the swash plate piston mesh is generated using the Rotor Template Mesher. The parameters under Swash Plate Piston module are accessed as follows:
Model Panel > Swash Plate Piston
Properties Panel > Model Tab
Setup Options
This allows the user to specify the operating parameters in either:
- Template Mode: Serves as a “wizard” in setting up a problem, but with the restriction that not all options are visible.
- Extended Mode: Provides full access to all the operating parameters relevant to the module.
Switching between Template Mode or Extended Mode does not alter any parameter related to swash plate piston pump module. It only changes the accessibility for other advanced settings (numerics or boundary condition related) in other modules. As such, the user is free to go back and forth during the problem set-up.
Reference Pump
This determines which template controls the Time Definition, when there is an additional pump or valve template as part of the simulation. This option is active only when there are multiple templates in the simulation.

Note: Only one template can be set as the Reference. The others are reset to No.
