Pilot Ejection Equations of motion
_________

Using a calculus level language, e.g. FC-Compiler, we'll show how to solve linear, nonlinear, implicit, algebraic, laplace transforms, differential equations, or systems of such equations in a minimum of time while tweaking parameter(s) to meet user's requirements. Most math models may be solved in a few days, once your equations are ready for compiling.

Solution accuracy improves due to the behind the scene use of Automatic Differentiation (AD). For a mental picture of what's going on, think of AD as taking symbolic derivatives of the equations involved in your model and evaluating these derivatives at given points. Derivative accuracy is thus as accurate as your computer allows.



Key statements for Calculus-level Programming:

The 'Find ...' statement is key to Calculus-level programming.

Find a, b, c, ...; in Seat; ...

This is a general form where 'a, b, c, ...' represent parameters to vary in routine/model 'Seat' until objective/goal is achieved; i.e. gx=0 & gy=0 (see code below).

Output shows several plot files (like this one to the right) and a summary plot titled 'Safe Ejection Profile'. Plots require a lot of code relative to solving a math problem! Fortunately, basic plot code is easily copied between apps with minor changes to code.
