Abstract
Section 1 of Volume III provides an overview of the purpose, structure, capabilities, and operation of the Numerical Simulator Program (NUMSIM) as of 30 April 1976. Section 2 contains the detailed description of NUMSIM. First, the symbology, conventions, and variables are defined. Then the individual routines are described under the headings of: function and equations; input, output, and internal variables; and finally the flow chart of the routine. This section is the only place where the description of the manipulations of the profile generator (PROFGEN) inputs to the form required by the particular ideal inertial measuring unit (IMU) outputs is provided. Section 3 describes the operation of NUMSIM in greater detail, under the headings of: operator inputs; simulator outputs; and operational aids. The use of PROFGEN in conjunction with NUMSIM is also described. The appendices contain sample input and output data, file structure and control cards. It is intended that this volume be studied together with program listings in Volume IV.
