timeSeries
('Pulse', tag, tStart, tEnd, period, '-width', width=0.5, '-shift', shift=0.0, '-factor', factor=1.0, '-zeroShift', zeroShift=0.0) This command is used to construct a TimeSeries object in which the load factor is some pulse function of the time in the domain.
\[\begin{split}\lambda = f(t) = \begin{cases} cFactor+zeroShift, & k < width\\ zeroshift, & k < 1\\ 0.0, & otherwise \end{cases}\end{split}\]\[k = \frac{t+shift-tStart}{period}-floor(\frac{t+shift-tStart}{period})\]tag
(int)unique tag among TimeSeries objects. tStart
(float)Starting time of non-zero load factor. tEnd
(float)Ending time of non-zero load factor. period
(float)Characteristic period of pulse. width
(float)Pulse width as a fraction of the period. (optinal) shift
(float)Phase shift in seconds. (optional) factor
(float)Load factor. (optional) zeroShift
(float)Zero shift. (optional)
