Explanation of Variables

Block: ATTRIBUTES

  • NAMES xxx
  • time_series_names Name by which a package references a particular time-array series. The name must be unique among all time-array series used in a package.
  • METHODS xxx
  • interpolation_method Interpolation method, which is either STEPWISE or LINEAR.
  • METHOD xxx
  • interpolation_method_single Interpolation method, which is either STEPWISE or LINEAR.
  • SFACS xxx
  • sfacval Scale factor, which will multiply all array values in time series. SFAC is an optional attribute; if omitted, SFAC = 1.0.
  • SFAC xxx

Block: TIMESERIES

  • ts_time A numeric time relative to the start of the simulation, in the time unit used in the simulation. Times must be strictly increasing.
  • ts_array A 2-D array of numeric, floating-point values, or a constant value, readable by the U2DREL array-reading utility.
