A description of the reference frames and the coordinate transformations used in AMEER (Aero-Mechanical Equations Evaluations Routines)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5254528

A guide to the use of AMEER (Aero-Mechanical Equations Evaluations Routines) was previously published. This report is intended to supplement the previous user's manual by analyzing in detail the reference frames in AMEER and their relationships. The coordinate transformations used in the initialization process and in the computational phase for both the six degree of freedom (6-DOF) and the point mass (PM) trajectory options are derived. Additionally, the PM equations of motion are derived. 7 refs., 19 figs.
