PeriodicAmplitude object

The PeriodicAmplitude object defines an amplitude curve using a Fourier series.

The PeriodicAmplitude object is derived from the Amplitude object.

The following topics are discussed:

name: A String specifying the repository key.
frequency: A Float specifying the circular frequency $ω$ . Possible values are positive numbers.
start: A Float specifying the starting time $t_{0}$ . Possible values are positive numbers.
a_0: A Float specifying the constant $A_{0}$ .
data: A sequence of pairs of Floats specifying $A_{i}$ and $B_{i}$ pairs.

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