One for Andy M?
« on: March 06, 2017, 01:52:38 PM »
NASA just released a load of free software;

https://software.nasa.gov/software/LAR-17481-1

Knife (Released w/ FUN3D as a software package - LAR-18968-1)

The Knife library calculates the boolean subtraction of arbitrary watertight triangular polyhedral in order to make near-field sonic boom predictions. ;D

I'd be lying if I said I understood any of that. Will it help me put a new clutch in my Rotax?  :o

Actually, reading it again, it seems it might help me calculate when best to change gear on the MZ in order to break the sound barrier. Just an extension of the 'noisy exhausts save lives' theory really....

You've copied and pasted that from the NASA small print, haven't you?
