Description

Piecewise Linear Temperature Source

The output of the piecewise linear temperature source model is controlled by pairs of time and temperature values defined in a matrix of dimension N x 2.

Each pair specifies the temperature value at a given time. At intermediate time values, the temperature value is determined by linear interpolation. The first and last temperature values are used for time points outside the defined range.

The data can also be imported from a .csv file using the "Load From File..." option.
