Cos(Input: Variant): Variant;
Input. Variable.
The Cos method returns cosine of selected variable points.
Executing the example requires that the repository contains a modeling container with the MS identifier. This container includes a model with the MODEL_D identifier that is calculated by the determinate equation method and contains at least one input variable.
Add links to the Metabase and Ms system assemblies.

Mb: IMetabase;
ModelSpace, ModelObj: IMetabaseObject;

Determ: IMsDeterministicTransform;
TransVar: IMsFormulaTransformVariable;

Mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
ModelSpace := Mb.ItemById("MS").Bind;
ModelObj := Mb.ItemByIdNamespace("MODEL_D", ModelSpace.Key).Edit;
Model := ModelObj As IMsModel;
Transf := Model.Transform;
Formula := Transf.FormulaItem(0);
Determ := Formula.Method As IMsDeterministicTransform;
TransVar := Transf.Inputs.Item(0);
Slice := TransVar.Slices.Item(0);
TermInfo := Transf.CreateTermInfo;
TermInfo.Slice := Slice;
Expr := Determ.Expression;
Expr.References := "Ms";
Expr.AsString := "Cos(" + TermInfo.TermInnerText + ")";
If Expr.Valid
Then ModelObj.Save;
Else Debug.WriteLine("Model is not saved: error in formula");
End If;
End Sub UserProc;
After executing the example the model will calculate cosine of the first input variable points.
Expression 1:
Cos({Brazil|BCA})
Result: the cosine is calculated for each Brazil|BCA factor observation.
Use: it can be used in formulas of cross functional expression editor in any platform tool where it is available.
Expression 2:
Cos(X1)
Result: the cosine is calculated for each X1 factor point.
Use: it can be used in model formulas of modeling container.
Expression 3:
Cos(0)
Result: 1.
Application: it can be used in any expressions.
