Facility Vulnerability with VISAC |
Each VISAC facility contains four pre-calculated grids of blast points. These and any grids calculated for user facilities can be viewed by either using the Grids/Show Grid Parameters menu option or by clicking on the QuickBlast information in the exapandable tree structure on the left hand side of the main VISAC window.
A grid is simply a set of points that fill a 3D rectanglar volume where the same weapon and blast parameters have been used. These blast points can be displayed as a contour map of outcomes or the grids can be searched to find only the points which match a set of the user's outcome criteria.
VISAC also has two specialty viewers for looking at QuickBlast overpressures and sets of QuickBlast grid data. These viewers have the same look & feel as the geometry viewers from which they are based. Most of the menu options and mouse commands are similar for these viewers.
