Lock/Save Spinner Basic Aeros

Before adding the despun nose and creating Finner aeros we need to lock and/or save some of the spinner aeros. We will use the "Aero Direct Input" module this step.

The aero direct input tables were developed specifically for mixed aero projectiles or hybrid (such as spin stabilized projectiles with canards). Since Spinner only gives access to the Aerotable and Magnus tables and Finner only gives access to Forces, Moments and High Order/Trim capability was needed to access all of the aero tables within PRODAS. Thus, Aero Direct Input capability. This interface also allows modifications to Asymmetric Aeros, Staged Aeros, and Staged Magnus which will not be discussed in this presentation. The last two tables, Forebody Aeros and Canard Deflection Aeros also appear within the CONTRAJ 7DOF interface and will be discussed later in the tutorial.
