Graphic input to CYCLONE
TLDR
An effort to develop a graphics capability to support an established simulation package called CYCLONE is reported herein, developed using AUTOCAD, which generates the required computer input for CYCLone.Abstract:
A goal of many computer simulation systems is the onscreen generation of the model being simulated. A recent effort to develop a graphics capability to support an established simulation package cal...read more
