Description

1

NPts

integer

Number of points to expect in subsequent vector.

2

Year

array of reals

Array of year values, or a text file spec, corresponding to the multipliers. Enter only those years where the growth changes. May be any integer sequence – just so it is consistent. See help on Mult.

3

Mult

array of reals

Array of growth multiplier values, or a text file spec, corresponding to the year values. Enter the multiplier by which you would multiply the previous year’s load to get the present year’s.

Examples:

Year = [1, 2, 5] Mult=[1.05, 1.025, 1.02].
Year= (File=years.txt) Mult= (file=mults.txt).

Text files contain one value per line.

4

CSVFile

string

Switch input of growth curve data to a csv file containing (year, mult) points, one per line.

5

SngFile

string

Switch input of growth curve data to a binary file of singles containing (year, mult) points, packed one after another.

6

DblFile

string

Switch input of growth curve data to a binary file of doubles containing (year, mult) points, packed one after another.
