% Compute the ballistic coefficient from a CAD model.
Add a fourth argument to account for shadowing.
Type BallisticCoefficient for a demo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
b = BallisticCoefficient( cD, u, g, shadows )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
cD (1,1) Drag coefficient
u (3,n) Velocity unit vector
g (1,1) CAD model
~ (1,1) Optional. If any value is provided, shadowing
calculations will be performed using HSRCAD.
-------
Outputs
-------
b (1,n) Ballistic coefficent
