Generic data record providing inputs for specific collector data records

Information

Generic data file which is used for the Buildings.Obsolete.Fluid.SolarCollectors.BaseClasses.PartialSolarCollector model. It establishes the base inputs needed to create model-specific data packages.

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Record (Icon for records), Buildings.Obsolete.BaseClasses.ObsoleteModel (Icon for classes that are obsolete and will be removed in later versions).
