        Function ARRAYINTERP
        Returns the interpolated value from a bivariate array defined with Card 9 - ARRAYDATA Array Variable Definition Card - Optional and Card 9 - ARRAYTYPE Array Variable Definition Card - Optional.
        Function CAPAPH
        Returns the capacitance of element k above its phase change temperature.
        Function CAPBPH
        Returns the capacitance of element k below its phase change temperature.
        Function HTLAT
        Returns the latent heat value of a phase change element.
        Function HYDPROP
        Returns a value of a fluid element for the selected property.
        Function ICONDELEM
        Returns the internal element number for the CG element associated with a given conductance number. This routine is used only with the CG conduction method.
        Function ICONV
        Returns the external element number of the integer internal element k.
        Function IELEMTYPE
        Returns the type of element i. If k is not zero, then k is the external element number associated with the external element number i.
        Function KCONV
        Returns the internal element number, k, of integer external element number, i. If i does not exist, k = 0 is returned.
        Function NAME
        Returns the alphabetically first group that contains the specified element. Internal group names are mapped to external group names with the subroutine LONGNAME.
        Function NOCOND
        Returns the conductance number of certain conductance type between two elements.
        Function TMGINT
        Performs linear interpolation in a table. Returns a value of the dependent variable (y) when provide the value of the independent variable (x).
        Function TPHASE
        Returns the phase change temperature of a phase change element.

Function ARRAYINTERP

Returns the interpolated value from a bivariate array defined with Card 9 - ARRAYDATA Array Variable Definition Card - Optional and Card 9 - ARRAYTYPE Array Variable Definition Card - Optional.

Calling convention:

value = arrayinterp(x,y,z,n)


Variable name	Data type	Description
Return value
`value`	Real	Interpolated value
Arguments
`x`	Real	The input value of first independent variable in array.
`y`	Real	The input value of second variable in array.
`z`	Real	Unused variable.
`n`	Integer	The input number of the array.
