A Technique for Code Augmentation

Abstract

A simple method for calling pre-existing computer codes from inside another program is described. Three applications drawn from the field of interior ballistics are included as examples. Two of the cases are optimization problems and the other is a simple search for a constraint condition. More elaborate applications in the area of computer aided design are discussed. Keywords: Case studies; Implementation; UNIX operating system; Thermodynamics; Hot propelling gases, Parallel processing; Expert systems.
