Trigonometric TimeSeries
This command is used to construct a TimeSeries object in which the load factor is some trigonemtric function of the time in the domain <math> \lambda = f(t) = \begin{cases}
\text{cFactor} * sin (\frac{2.0 \Pi (t-tStart)}{\text{period}} + \text{shift}), &\text{tStart} <= t <= \text{tEnd}\\ \text{0.0}, &\text{otherwise}\\
\end{cases}
</math>

$tag | unique tag among TimeSeries objects. |
$tStart | starting time of non-zero load factor |
$tEnd | ending time of non-zero load factor |
$period | characteristic period of sine wave |
$shift | phase shift in radians (optional, default=0.0) |
$cFactor | the load factor amplification factor (optional, default=1.0) |
