MAGIC Computer Simulation. Volume 1: User Manual
John E. Musch, Robert A Burris · 1970
Abstract : The MAGIC computer simulation generates target description data consisting of item-by-item listings of the target's components and airspaces encountered by a large number of parallel rays emanating from any desired attack angle. A combinatorial geometry technique, which defines the locations and shapes of the various physical regions in terms of the intersections and unions of the volumes contained in a set of simple bodies, is used to represent complex target structures. A grid cell pattern is superimposed over the surface of the target and parallel rays are randomly located in each grid cell. This User Manual contains: (1) A detailed description of the input variables required to execute the program (2) A description of the output (3) A sample problem.
