The throughput of some amount, e.g., basically a flow of
discretely counted entities, measured in each/s.
Rate can be used for fractional rates of
flow or for the throughput of a continuously measured,
dimensionless quantity, AmountRate is to be used for
the throughput of discretely countable entities like people,
tangible assets, and material.Rate for a fractional rate allows unit
checking to catch unit mismatch in cases when a fractional rate has
not been multiplied by some amount.AmountRate is similar to the
MolarFlowRate used in Chemistry: We can succinctly
describe flows of similar substances, i.e., entities, while
avoiding the need to name each and every entity—an advantage with
regard to component reuse.each/s will be
shown as #/s in Model Center and Simulation
