Returns 0 until the step time and then returns height. It is the same as:
IF THEN ELSE ( Time plus > step time,height,0)
time plus = Time + ( TIME STEP / 2.0 )
NOTE The value returned by STEP does not change except at TIME STEP intervals regardless of the integration method used.
Units: | STEP(units,time) --> units (step time has the same units as Time, the result of STEP has the units of the step height) |
Example
STEP(10,20) is 0 till time 20, then 10.
