Dynamic Altitude Simulation System Performance Modeling

Abstract

The "Dynamic Altitude Simulation Prediction Program," DASSPP, is a program to predict the transient response of an engine, test cell, ejector system under engine shutdown conditions. These transients are important to know so that corrective modifications can be adapted to prevent any damage to the engine or test cell. The "Dynamic Altitude System Simulation Prediction Program," DASSPP, is a major rewrite of the existing program "RL-1000" written in BASIC. The RL-1000 program was written to analyze the transients of the RL-10 system only. The new program is written to run in Excell 97 and utilizes the Visual BASIC language in Excell. The program has many added features not included in the original "Rl-1000" program. The program utilizes the ejector models developed during the summer of 1997. The new program is very user friendly and utilizes a dialog box for data input.
