Users manual for CATNIP: A computer analysis tool for normal impact penetration
This program was developed to provide a computer based framework for analytical models developed by Forrestal and co-workers [1--2] to predict depth of penetration and temporal quantities for rigid non- deforming ogive-nose projectiles penetrating into a wide variety of targets. CATNIP provides results for penetration into semi-infinite targets, but does not provide for perforation events. The program has a graphical user interface to facilitate operation so that people unfamiliar with the analytical models can use the code with a minimum of training. CATNIP runs on Apple Macintosh computers using the Hypercard program. The Hypercard program is included with the system software on all Macintosh computers. A familiarity with the Macintosh use of pointing and clicking with the mouse is assumed for the use of this program.
