Simulations

Building simulations is best learned by example. Study the venues, which others have trodden before you. For this reason I provide you with several simulations on the CADAC CD. You should supplement them with examples from your own work environment. Become a simulation glutton! In this section I document the two, three-DoF simulations GHAME3 and ROCKET3 that you find on the CADAC CD.

You may perceive my documentation lacking in detail. I challenge you to com­bine the source code, which is well interspersed with comments, with the following figures and derive the complete flow diagram of the two simulations on your own.

If this is your first exposure to CADAC, you have to lay some groundwork. First read the two volumes of CADAC Studio: Quick Start and Programmer’s Manual and print them out. You will need them as constant companions. Then run the test

case TEST to make sure your computer is set up properly. Appendix В will launch you with the CADAC Primer.
