ROCKFILL, written for NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, is a software package that calculates key robot weld information. Its easy to use menu system allows the robot operator to better estimate the number of passes, amount of wire, estimated arc time and the estimated amount of heat that will be put into the particular weld. The software is designed to operate on the robot's work cell PC and requires no documentation or training. ROCKFILL is intended for use as a shop aid in the Rocketdyne robotic welding effort, and is not a tool for design. The program assumes that the welding process is the Gas Tungsten (pulsed/nonpulsed) Arc Welding (GTAW), commonly referred to as Tig welding. ROCKFILL, MFS-29716, is written in C Language for IBM PC and compatible computers running MS-DOS. The source code will only compile properly with the Aztec C v3.2 compiler; however, an executable is provided on the distribution disk. The standard distribution medium for this program is one 5.25 inch 360K MS-DOS format diskette. Some documentation is available, showing the basic menu screens, but ROCKFILL is intended as a stand alone program. Program $150; documentation $12.
