That sounds logical to me. Allow perhaps up to -200 bar, but below that I
don't see the point. I wonder if negative pressures should be marked very
clearly in the profile plot.

I doubt that it would give us perfomance problems. But I also don't see the
need to represent such values.
By the way, I don't understand the pressure calculation. In the attached
screenshot, shouldn't absolute gas consumption decrease when going up? On the
contrary, it seems to increase at the ca. 200 min point. Also it appears
unrealistic to me that you would burn through nearly 12 11l cylinders with a
SAC rate of 20 l/min and the given profile. It appears that I'm missing
something fundamental.
