3.1.11.2. Linear TimeSeries

This command is used to construct a TimeSeries object in which the load factor applied is linearly proportional to the time in the domain, i.e. \(\lambda = f(t) = cFactor*t\).

Fig. 3.1.11.2 Linear Time Series

timeSeries Linear $tag <-factor $cFactor>

Argument	Type	Description
$tag	integer	unique tag among TimeSeries objects
$cFactor	float	the linear factor (optional: default=1.0)

Example:

The following code demonstrates how user would create two linear time series, the first with tag 1 has a 1.0 factor, the second 2 has a constant load factor of 20.0.

1. Tcl Code

timeSeries Linear 1
timeSeries Linear 2 -factor 20.0

2. Python Code

timSeries('Linear',  1)
timSeries('Linear',  2, '-factor', 20.0)
