getComputationalTimeFromRealTime

as discussed today with Daniele, it would be helpful for some of our developments if we could convert a given RealTimeValue to a corresponding ComputationalTimeValue using the RealTimeMap in the script.
An example would be converting the StartTime and EndTime for some time-dependent process that are defined in the input file.

The functionality you requested has been implemented in MARS version 2016.8.12. Let's say you enter a curve like this

LoadCurve RealTime {
X-Units time ms // computation time
Y-Units time days // real time
ReadPairs 3
0. 0.
1. 10.
2. 50.
}

and inside the code you want to find the computation time at 30 days. This is the coding you need to insert

double ctm, rtm;
rtm = 30.; // days
uc->convertTime(rtm, "days");
ctm = prm->interpComputationTimeFromRealTime(rtm);
cout << "ctm = " << ctm << endl;

This will print

ctm = 0.0015

where 0.0015 is the time in seconds, since the calculational time units are seconds.

thank you !
this code segment is already introduced into the prestressing subroutine.
