The Heat Routing component models thermal contact between one object and multiple objects. The route of heat transfer is controlled by the value of the signal input.

The following image illustrates the behavior of Heat Routing component using the Thermal Conductor component.

$\{\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{dT}\left[1\right]\=\mathrm{R\_\_on}\cdot \mathrm{Q\_\_flow}\left[1\right]& \mathrm{sel}\=1\\ \mathrm{Q\_\_flow}\left[1\right]\=\mathrm{G\_\_off}\cdot \mathrm{dT}\left[1\right]& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$

$\mathrm{dT}\left[1\right]\=T-\mathrm{T\_\_multi}\left[1\right]$

$$...

$\{\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{dT}\left[\mathrm{Number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{Routes}\right]\=\mathrm{R\_\_on}\cdot \mathrm{Q\_\_flow}\left[\mathrm{Number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{Routes}\right]& \mathrm{sel}\=\mathrm{Number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{Routes}\\ \mathrm{Q\_\_flow}\left[\mathrm{Number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{Routes}\right]\=\mathrm{G\_\_off}\cdot \mathrm{dT}\left[\mathrm{Number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{Routes}\right]& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$

$\mathrm{dT}\left[\mathrm{Number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{Routes}\right]\=T-\mathrm{T\_\_multi}\left[\mathrm{Number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{Routes}\right]$

The valid index of the vectorized port is specifed by the input signal $\mathrm{sel}$.

Heat resistance $\mathrm{R\_\_on}$ in the valid route is activated.

Heat conductance $\mathrm{G\_\_off}$ in the invalid route is activated.
