Hydraulic Port Volumes

	Description
	Some hydraulic models have optional volumes connected to their ports that are instantiated when the corresponding Use volume X boolean parameter is set to true (checked). When a port volume is enabled, the icon changes to show an oval volume connected to the port. The following equations are added to the model. The $K$ parameter is the bulk modulus of the fluid.

	Equations
	$q_{VX} = {\begin{array}{c} \frac{d V_{f_{X}}}{d t} & Use volume X \\ 0 & otherwise \end{array}$ $V_{f_{X}} = V_{X} (1 + \frac{p_{X}}{K})$
