Both argument and value dimensions can be set for inline-constructable
function1-s. For example, this inline table function:
massFlowRate table [CAD] [g/s]
(
(0 0.46)
(0.17 1.9)
(0.31 4.8)
);
Is equivalent to this dictionary specification:
massFlowRate
{
type table;
xDimensions [CAD];
dimensions [g/s];
values
(
(0 0.46)
(0.17 1.9)
(0.31 4.8)
);
}
In the inline form, the argument/x-dimensions come first, and the value
dimensions second. If there only one dimension set provided, then this
is assumed to be the value dimensions.
This can be used identically to a standard Function1. In addition, it
also permits specification of the dimensions. This allows the dimensions
to be checked. It also permits unit conversions. For example:
<name>
{
type table;
// Dimensions
xDimensions [CAD]; // Optional. Argument dimensions/units.
// Here, this specifies coordinates are in
// crank angle degrees (available if using
// engine time).
dimensions [mm]; // Optional. Value dimensions/units.
// Here, values are in mm.
// Tablulated data
values
(
(0 0)
(60 12) // <-- i.e., 12 mm at 60 degrees
(180 20)
(240 8)
(360 0)
);
outOfBounds repeat;
}
This replaces TimeFunction1, as it allows per-function control over
whether the function is considered to be one of real-time or user-time.
