I am going to look at a cylinder i 2D, but my problem is how to draw this correcly when it it not symmetric around the axis. In 3D it would look like a tank with a small tube as an inlet in top, and a small tube as outlet in the bottom.

Is this possible to do in 2D?

Probably not. If your geometry and physics are not axi-symmetric, then your options for representing them correctly with an axi-symmetric model are very limited. Consider a 3D model. If you have a plane of symmetry, take advantage of it. Also, you may be able to get more detailed and useful suggestions from this forum if you post a more detailed description of your model and what you are trying to accomplish with it. Good luck.
