Builtins

Builtins are functions that are “built in” to the isee software. They allow you to easily incorporate functions into building block equations. You can also use the standard

Builtins are organized into the following categories (a full alphabetical list also appears below):

• Array builtins
• Cycle-time builtins
• Data builtins
• Delay builtins
• Discrete builtins
• Financial builtins
• Logical builtins
• Mathematical builtins
• Miscellaneous builtins
• Simulation builtins
• Statistical builtins
• Test input builtins
• Trigonometric builtins

Documentation for each builtin function begins with the name of the builtin, followed by the arguments that are used to define the builtin. Arguments to builtins must be enclosed within parentheses ( ). Note that each builtin function argument is denoted by < >. When there are multiple arguments, they must be separated by a comma. Occasionally, there will be opportunity to include optional arguments when defining the builtin function. Optional arguments are denoted by square brackets [ ]. Thus, the form of a builtin function in the following documentation is:

Builtin(<argument 1>, <argument 2> [,<optional argument>])

When it's appropriate, an example is provided.
