Blast Program User Survey and Recommended Implementation Plan

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of a user survey for the Building Loads Analysis and System Thermodynamics (BLAST) program and presents a recommended plan for implementing BLAST in Air Force projects. General overall response to BLAST was favorable. However, users identified the need for improved user documentation, including a revised user's manual and input booklet, and a detailed description of algorithms used in BLAST. A revised user's manual and new input booklet (now in the final development stages) will enhance the system's ability. It was recommended (1) that BLAST be implemented throughout the Air Force immediately, (2) that an engineers manual for BLAST be developed, and (3) that an interactive input data processing system be developed for BLAST.
