Array Data
The ARRAY DATA block is used primarily to enter arrays of data that are required by various input options specified in other data blocks. These include TVS, SIV, STV, PER, FLQ, FLX, etc. Three types of arrays can be entered: singlet arrays doublet arrays and bivariate arrays. The special input options reference either pairs of singlet arrays or a doublet array. Bivariate arrays are only referenced manually with user logic.
The types of data entered in the arrays are time, temperature, thermal capacitance, conductance, material properties, and heating rates. The order of the values is particular to its usage. Time arrays are required to be input in increasing order. In general, any array representing an independent variable (time or temperature) must be monotonically increasing.
Arrays may have as few or as many elements as the user wishes. Sometimes large arrays may require several lines. If this occurs simply continue the array on the next line. There is no limit to the number of lines an array may occupy.
The use of floating point and integer user defined contants is permitted. Floating point constants can even be used in arithmetic equations wherever a floating point value is expected.
TAK 2000 supports the following types of arrays:
- Singlet
- Doublet
- Bivariate
