Extensions and Adjuncts to the BRL-COMGEOM Program

Abstract

The tasks completed under this contract and described in the report are: (1) The addition to the list of available body types of two new bodies, the general ellipsoid and the 'arbitrary quadric surface'; (2) The development of a geometry preprocessor program capable of producing GIFT input from a more limited, user-oriented, set of descriptions; (3) Development of a BRL-COMGEOM model of the M109A1 tank. The first two tasks are described in some detail. The modeling task is embodied in an input deck for the GIFT code and is described briefly in the last section.
