How do I model a valve that opens linearly between two values of a process variable?

Solution
When modelling a system with pumps or compressors in Aspen HYSYS Dynamics, a surge control
scheme could be used to protect pressure units under extreme flow conditions. Sometimes, however,
it is desirable to manipulate a valve opening according to a specific range for a given process
variable. To this end, a selector block can be used to map the range of a process variable to a
particular valve opening range.
See the attached case wherein a selector block is used to implement such a scheme. The valve starts
to open at a specified pressure, and opens linearly and gradually until full opening is achieved at a
higher pressure. The selector block's parameters are tuned to map a pressure range of 4000 5000kPa to a valve opening range of 10%-90%.
