Definitions

Field Contents SI Unit Example
TID Table identification number.

No default (Integer > 0)

 
X1, X2 Table parameters.

No default (Real; X2 ≠ 0.0)

 
FLAT
Specifies the handling method for y-values outside the specified range of x-values in the table.
=0 (Default)
If an x-value input is outside the range of x-values specified on the table, the corresponding y-value look up is performed using linear extrapolation from the two start or two end points.
=FLAT or 1
If an x-value input is outside the range of x-values specified on the table, the corresponding y-value is equal to the start or end points, respectively.
 
x#, y# Tabular values.

Any x, y pair may be ignored by placing SKIP in either of the two fields used for that entry.

No default (Real)

  3. At least one continuation entry must be specified.
  4. The end of the table is indicated by the existence of ENDT in either of the two fields following the last entry. An error is detected if any continuations follow the entry containing the end-of-table flag ENDT.
  5. For FLAT=0 (default), TABLED3 uses the algorithm:(1)
    y = y T ( x X 1 X 2 )

    The table look-up is performed using interpolation within the table and linear extrapolation outside the table using the two starting or end points (Figure 1). No warning messages are issued if table data is input incorrectly.


    Figure 1. Example of Table Extrapolation and Discontinuity

    For FLAT=1, the same algorithm as FLAT=0 is used, except that values outside the range are not extrapolated. The corresponding start or end point y-values are used for all y-values outside the range.

  6. Linear extrapolation is not used for Fourier transform methods. The function is zero outside the range of the table.
  7. For frequency-dependent loads, X1, X2, and x# are measured in cycles per unit time.
