Stuff

A stuff represent the properties of the working fluid at that particular point. For example, the pressure of the stuff connecting the outlet of a heater to the inlet of a turbine represents the pressure at that point.

In build mode, you can drag this label to reposition it, and right clicking on the label will pop-up a dialog box for changing the displayed name of the stuff. Right clicking on the bulge in the pipe will bring up the edit menu, which enables you to delete the stuff. In analyze mode, clicking on either the stuff bulge or the stuff label displays the stuff-meter window:
