Further Development of an Interactive Control Engineering Computer Analysis Package (ICECAP) for Discrete and Continuous Systems.

Abstract

This thesis reports on the on-going effort to design and implement an Interactive Control Engineering Computer Analysis Package (ICECAP). When fully implemented ICECAP will enable a Control Engineer to analyze and design continuous and discrete time problems. This project started with Captain Glen T. Logan's implementation of the program called TOTAL which is the core of ICECAP. Captain Charles J. Gembarowski continued Logan's effort and began implementation of the 'User friendly' command structure. Captain Robert E. Wilson implemented the help/teach modules and completed the continuous time functions started by Gembarowski. The main emphasis of this thesis investigation was the implementation of the discrete command structure so that discrete analysis and design could be performed by ICECAP. Furthermore, other commands were implemented to improve ICECAP's continuous and discrete time function capabilities. Keywords include: Command language, Computer aided design, Control systems, Human interface, Interactive, Computer analysis package, VAX 11/780.
