Welcome to the Virtual Habitat (V-HAB)

V-HAB is a MATLAB-based simulation system specifically designed for the analysis of life support systems in crewed spacecraft.

V-HAB Base Repository

Basic repository with the framework for V-HAB / STEPS. Contains four directories:

• core: central, shared V-HAB framework.
• lib: helper functions, pre/post processing, logging, GUI, date functions, ... (TBD)
• user: user-specific simulations
• data: user-generated simulation results (e.g. logs, plots, spreadsheets)

The core and lib packages are managed, i.e. most likely no changes should be done or can be committed to the online repository.

How to get started with programming for V-HAB

After you have the code and your user project you can go to the introduction chapter for V-HAB and read it. You should also have a look at the coding guidelines to avoid having your advisor tell you to do stuff differently after you have programmed everything!
