Capabilities of the Generic Systems Assessment Model

Abstract

The automated electric power and environmental control Systems Assessment Model (SAM) determines the heating, cooling, and electric power requirements of a variety of military shelter and tent systems. By using steady state or hour-by-hour temperature profiles, the Model establishes 24-hour cooling or heating requirements. Its database includes all standard Army shelters and tents but has the flexibility to allow the user to create a new rigid-wall shelter or tent or to modify characteristics already defined in the model. BTU, Radiation, Convection, Conduction, Demand factor.
