Description:
X30/AURORA SPACECRAFT HEAT SHIELD DESIGN
This program designs the heat shield for the X30 Aurora Spacecraft.
The shield is assumed to be of rectangular shape with square core.
Simple graphical representation of the steady-state heat distribution
is provided plus a table of numerical values. The program is adaptable
to other types of heat shield design problems unrelated to the X30
problem. Source for unix and DOS targets, GNU license.

Running the Program
Read 'heat.doc' for an understanding of the program, and then run
'heatdos.exe' (similar for UNIX Dec5000 and SUN4). Upon doing this you
shall see 4 options. The defaults are set for the X30 problem and
therefore no input is required.
<S> To Solve Heat Problem
<P> To Plot Output to Disk or Screen
<L> To List Numerical Data to Disk or Screen
<Q> To Quit
Documentation
Read 'heat.doc' for an overview of the program, some examples, and the
mathematical analysis.
Compiling
Use f77 heat.f to compile 'heat' for the UNIX Dec5000 or SUN4. Use MS
fortran compiler 3.0 and the source file heatdos.for the DOS
compilation.
Miscellaneous Comments
Even though the title is 'X30/Aurora Spacecraft Heat Shield Design',
this program has broader application than the title would lead one to
suspect. The X30 is just one example of many among the types of heat
shield design problems that this program can solve.
