Summary Class

The Summary class is useful for extracting data that is written to the Summary File. Information at outlets such as flow rate, pressure, and temperature is of particular interest. Note that the methods allow extraction of data at a specific inlet or outlet as referenced by an id, so it is necessary to know the id of an opening when writing the method.
