"""Multi-dimensional ramp signal source block.
Generates a ramp signal element-wise on a 2D output array:
y(t) = offset + slope * max(0, t - start_time)
Parameters may be scalars, vectors, or matrices. Only scalar-to-shape
broadcasting is allowed; all non-scalar parameters must share the same
shape.
Attributes:
slope: Ramp slope as a 2D array.
start_time: Time at which the ramp starts, as a 2D array.
offset: Output value before the ramp starts, as a 2D array.

Args:
name: Unique identifier for this block instance.
slope: Ramp slope. Can be scalar, vector, or matrix.
start_time: Time at which the ramp starts in seconds. Can be

offset: Output value before the ramp starts. Defaults to zero.
Can be scalar, vector, or matrix.

global simulation dt.
