functionwindPressureProfile

Function for the cubic spline interpolation of a wind pressure profile with given support points and spline derivatives at these support points

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).

Information

This function computes the wind pressure coefficients Cp from a user-defined table data. The same functionality is also implemented in CONTAM.

This function is used in Buildings.Fluid.Sources.Outside_CpData.
