User Defined Explosions

User Defined Explosions allow externally calculated overpressure distance decay curves to be included in SAIPH. 

Decay curves can be imported into SAIPH as comma delimited files (files with the extension .csv) with the first column as the distance and the second column as the overpressure. 

User Defined Explosions occur at a single point and require a frequency and the selection of a decay curve.

Advisory Note
SAIPH requires that the imported files have numbers only and that the overpressure decays with distance.
Advisory Note
SAIPH will determine the overpressure at distance by interpolating between the overpressures in the decay curve. SAIPH will not extrapolate to distances or overpressures not shown on the decay curve. Ensure that the imported decay curves include all overpressures of interest.
