% CAD vertices and faces for a Mars aeroshell for entry It is based on Viking which is nominally a 70 degree cone with a spherical tip. The aeroshell will be symmetric about the z-axis. You can change the angle via alpha. Type MarsAeroshell for a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [v,f] = MarsAeroshell(alpha,w,h,n) MarsAeroshell(alpha,w,h,n); % draw model -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ alpha (1,1) Angle (rad) w (1,1) Half diameter (m) h (1,1) Height (m) n (1,1) Number of vertical steps, default 20 ------- Outputs ------- v (:,3) Vertices f (:,3) Faces -------------------------------------------------------------------------- See also SurfaceOfRevolution --------------------------------------------------------------------------
