Basically, the mass flow network is a set of equations that must satisfy the mass conservation law.

From what I read in the documentation (Hensen, 1991), by mapping the two networks, the mass flow rate calculated in the .mfs is transferred to the mapped connection in .pln. However I noticed that the <b><span style='color:red'>pressure</span></b><span style='color:red'> </span>of an internal unknown node (linked to a zone in my model) calculated by the .mfs, is affected by this mapping. If the only effect of this mapping is the mass flow rate transfer from .mfr -> .pln how can the pressure calculations in .mfr change?
