**table

Description

This type of external parameter is used for uniform values which use entries from ***table (see table ) to determine the parameter value through time. The input is rather like a boundary condition.

Syntax

The syntax required is:

**table param-name [ *node ] [ *ip ] \(~\,~\,\) value  table

param-name

a character string name for the parameter. This name will be used to reference the parameter values elsewhere in the problem.

value

a scaling value (base value - decimal input).

table

a table name entered in a ***table section.

Example

The following is an example of temperature values imposed with a table parameter.
