Controlled Trajectory 7DOF Tutorial

This tutorial is an introduction to "Controlled Trajectory (7DOF)" and includes an example to demonstrate the use of Contraj7DOF in evaluating Hybrid Aerodynamics.

You will learn to:

Model a spin stabilized projectile with a secondary spin axis (7 DOF)
Run a Contraj7DOF simulation.
Use a Script to run Contraj7DOF with varying inputs

Contraj7DOF installation and configuration

This tutorial assumes that you have successfully installed PRODAS with the Contraj7DOF optional module on your computer and received a free evaluation key, or are a registered user of PRODAS and Contraj 7DOF.

The evaluation version of PRODAS includes the CONTRAJ 7DOF analysis. It is fully functional but time-limited to 30 days.
