***************************************** FLEXIBLE SPACECRAFT DYNAMICS PROGRAM V ***************************************** This is the Flexible Spacecraft Dynamics Program V, modified to run on the VAX 11/780 VMS 3.7 . FSD was written by AVCO and modified to run on the VAX by ODSI. For questions concerning how to create an input data file see "A user's guide to the FLEXIBLE SPACECRAFT DYNAMICS PROGRAM-V". The executable image is called FSD.EXE . The image will look for the data in FOR004.DAT . An example of a data set can be found under EXAMPLE.DAT . An example of fsd output can be found under EXAMPLE.OUT . To run fsd, you first assign the input data file to FOR004, then run FSD. ASSIGN EXAMPLE.DAT FOR004 RUN FSD To run as a sub-process, you type : ASSIGN EXAMPLE.DAT FOR004 RUN FSD/OUTPUT=EXAMPLE.DAT To run batch, you type : SUBMIT SUBMITFSD/PARAMETER=([FSD]EXAMPLE.DAT) SUBMITFSD.COM is a very basic command procedure. It looks for the FSD executeable in FSDHOME, and needs the directory the data file is in as well as the name of the data file. The command procedures needed to run FSD batch through a card reader can be found under AACARDS.TXT and RUNFSD.COM .
