A new version of Shellcalc\u00a9 is available (5.23)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The following changes have been made<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Taken out the backgrounds on the scaled plots to make copy\/paste easier into Powerpoint (It comes in transparent now if you just select the Excel graph)<\/li>\n
  2. Updated the copy\/paste instructions<\/li>\n
  3. Added a scaled plan plot<\/li>\n
  4. Added a screengrab of superimposing Shellcalc\u00a9 onto Google earth images<\/li>\n
  5. Changed the algorithm for calculating long duration debris \u2013 this has increased the distances a bit, but is probably more accurate<\/li>\n
  6. Changed the display of long burn fallout so it comes directly off the shell burst diameter at 4 points<\/li>\n
  7. Updated the terrain category function<\/li>\n
  8. Changed some of the term on the main screen to make it clearer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We have just run a course on getting the most from Shellcalc\u00a9 – more details of upcoming courses at http:\/\/www.pyroworkshops.com<\/a><\/p>\n

    A few questions resulted from the Workshop:-<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u00a0The plots on the main screen of shell bursts may be\u00a0elliptical\u00a0because Excel automatically scales the x\/y axes on the plots on that screen.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
    2. Shellcalc\u00a9\u00a0IS NOT a simulation tool – it is a tool for predicting shell trajectories and debris distances<\/li>\n
    3. There are now 2 new graph screens where you can change the axes to maximise the information on the plot (as a normal Excel operation – right click and try) – specifically there to facilitate copy\/paste and superposition on to images such as from Google Earth<\/li>\n
    4. The “long burn” fallout and “normal debris” fallout plots are not meant to show exactly how the debris falls, but the distance to ground level is accurate<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
