This command creates a TrigSeries TimeSeries object and associates it to the LoadPattern object being constructed.
Sine $tStart $tFinish $period <-shift $shift> <-factor $cFactor>
$tStart |
start time when the load factor is applied |
$tFinish |
end time when the load factor is applied |
$period |
characteristic period of sine wave |
$shift |
phase shift (radians) (optional. default = 0.0) |
$cFactor |
load-factor coefficient. (optional. default = 1.0) |
The load factor applied to the loads and constraints in the LoadPattern object is equal to:
