Bases:
TimeSeriesBaseThe Path TimeSeries Class
The relationship between loadfactor and time is input by the user as a series of discrete points inthe 2d space (load factor, time). The input points can come from afile or from a list in the script. When the time specified does not matchany of the input points, linear interpolation is used between points.There are many ways to specify the load path, for example,
