shape_info

• This needs just a bit more info but it's set up here.

Description

This routine produces the following useful information about a shape model:

• Volume (km^3)
• Surface area (km^2)
• Center of figure offset from center of coordinate system (km)
• Moment of inertial tensor assuming body is homogenous (per unit mass)

  Any idea what this next line was supposed to be??

• Last bit of information is unknown

Input Files

• Shape file - You provide the filename as standard input.

Output

• Display in this format:

Volume =      0.62119D-01
Area =        0.77755D+00
Offset =      0.95893D-03   -0.34589D-03   -0.91561D-03

              2.33664    -0.00537    -0.00069
I/M =        -0.00537     2.38540    -0.00717   x 10 ^ -2
             -0.00069    -0.00717     2.59532

dPM =         6.30695

Using shape_info

• Is this a command line program? Does it issue a prompt? I think I need one bit of info.

At the prompt, enter the filename for the shape file.

• You must use the full path.

SHAPEFILES/SHAPE.TXT

• Anything I should know about what to do with the display output?
