NOTEThis function is created automatically by the Sketch tool, is not intended for use in writing equations, and precludes simulation.

A FUNCTION OFindicates only that variables are related.  It does not describe the form of the relationship.  (As a result it cannot be calculated.)  In the Text Editor, an equation using the A FUNCTION OF function may be followed by one or more equations containing syntax errors or incomplete causal lists.  This function does not appear and cannot be used in the Equation Editor.

Unlike all other functions, A FUNCTION OF has an indeterminate number of arguments.

If you are using placeholder values, the first argument for A FUNCTION OF may be a number.  This value will be displayed within curly brackets in the Equation Editor.

NOTE No units checking occurs on this function since it is intended to represent arbitrary functional relationships.
