Around here we do lots of hydraulic modelling/simulation in Simulink
(although we use our own models, not SimHydraulics - but the principles
are the same).
Just because the pump will generate a positive head at the set speed
does not mean the flow will necessarily be forwards. What about the
pressure differential across the pump in the service conditions? If
back-pressure-differential (outpet pressure less suction pressure)
exceeds the pump head, then the flow will go backwards.
I don't know how good the pump modelling is in SimHydraulics; but a
complete pump model should have a characteristic in all four quadrants
of the head/flow curve (all combinations of +/-ve head and flow).
