This command is used to construct a TimeSeries object in which the load factor is some triangular 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>

timeSeries Triangle $tag $tStart $tEnd $period <-shift $shift> <-factor $cFactor>

---

$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 triangular wave
$shift	phase shift in seconds (optional, default = 0.0)
$cFactor	the load amplification factor (optional, default = 1.0)
