Explanation of Variables

Block: ATTRIBUTES

  • NAME xxx

  • time_series_name 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.

  • METHOD xxx

  • interpolation_method Interpolation method, which is either STEPWISE or LINEAR.

  • SFAC xxx

  • sfacval Scale factor, which will multiply all array values in time series. SFAC is an optional attribute; if omitted, SFAC = 1.0.

Block: TIME

  • time_from_model_start A numeric time relative to the start of the simulation, in the time unit used in the simulation. Times must be strictly increasing.

  • tas_array An array of numeric, floating-point values, or a constant value, readable by the U2DREL array-reading utility.
