Data identifier: ZEIT [-],

Location: 5th row of the model file

From column 17 onwards, one of the following time units is explicitly entered left-aligned in the same row as the data identifier (only the first 4 characters of the time unit identifier are relevant):

SEKUNDE (seconds), STUNDE (hours), TAG (days), MONAT (months), JAHR (years).

The time unit TAG consists of three letters and a space.

This data type therefore only consists of one row (plus a blank row). When creating a new model with the SPRING user interface the time unit is specified at the start of model creation in the dialogue File New.

The time unit refers to all in- and outflows in the model, i.e. all corresponding input values must be converted to this time unit.
