Simscape Tank (G-TL) Elevation from a reference

Hello,

When I connect two Simscape Tanks (G-TL versions) fluidically so that one tank can transfer liquid to the other, does the block assume that the two blocks are at the same elevation? If so, how can I account for an elevation difference between the bottom of the tanks?

The best way may be to use the Pipe (TL) block in Simscape Fluids.

Closed conduit that transports fluid between thermal liquid components - MATLAB (mathworks.com)

It can model elevation changes (constant or variable) in addition to other effects between the two tanks that may be important to your model.
