end SineSource;

Syntax

time

Description

All declared variables are functions of the independent variable time. Time is a built-in variable available in all classes, which is treated as an input variable. It is implicitly defined as:

input Real time (final quantity = "Time",
                 final unit     = "s");

The value of the start attribute of time is set to the time instant at which the simulation is started.
