Required argument

name

A String specifying the repository key.

Optional arguments

initial

A Float specifying the initial amplitude value. Possible values are those between minimum and maximum. The default value is 1.0.

minimum

A Float specifying the minimum amplitude value. Possible values are those smaller than maximum and initial. The default value is 0.1.

maximum

A Float specifying the maximum amplitude value. Possible values are those larger than minimum and initial. The default value is 1000.0.

timeSpan

A SymbolicConstant specifying the time span of the amplitude. Possible values are STEP and TOTAL. The default value is STEP.

Return value

A SolutionDependentAmplitude object.

Exceptions

InvalidNameError and RangeError.

This method modifies the SolutionDependentAmplitude object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the SolutionDependentAmplitude method, except for the name argument.

Return value

None

Exceptions

RangeError.

The SolutionDependentAmplitude object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the SolutionDependentAmplitude method.
