(1) To run a sim invoke: ramp_tester_168.exe -ManMass 100 95 90 100 105 110 100 95 -ManTime 1 2 2 3 4 5 7 9 > output.txt (2) To parse output into a comma-separated-value file invoke or pipe output into: awk -f parse.awk output.txt >output.csv (3) The directory scenario_data contains a spreadsheet with a MonteCarlo generated set of masses and timings. Open the spreadsheet and "Save As" a batch file to generate a full set of runs. Executing the batch file will repeatedly invoke step (1) and the output can be parsed by step (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------- The model runs in either of two drive sizing. 168 is an underpowered drive and 268 is rated larger. A total of eight soldiers exit the vvehicle with masses and exit times as specified on the comman line. They are evnly divided in exiting from either side of the vehicle. The controller software and plant model is described in ramp_tester.mdl, while the configuration and stimulus in ramp_init.mdl. The recommendation is to use Matlab Simulink to navigate the ramp_tester dataflow model.
