Projectile Simulation Project (ENGG100)

📌 Project Overview

This repository contains a MATLAB-based simulation tool developed for the ENGG100 Course Project. The objective of this project is to model, analyze, and simulate the 3D dynamics of a projectile launched from a variable coordinate $A(x,y,z)$ over an obstructing building of height $H$ to land precisely at a target destination $B$ (located 10 meters past the building along the x-axis, 5 meters above the ground on the y-axis, and 0 meters on the z-axis).

The program utilizes core kinematic and dynamic equations to calculate the exact required launch velocity $V$ and angle $a$ to ensure the object safely clears the building obstruction and achieves its target zone.

🛠️ Features & Functionality

• Dynamic Trajectory Modeling: Computes and plots the object's complete flight path in a 3D coordinate space.
• Maximum Height Detection: Evaluates the peak altitude achieved during the flight to ensure building clearance.
• Interactive GUI: A user-friendly graphical interface built using MATLAB App Designer to easily test varying operating conditions.
• Time-Step Verification: Allows users to check the exact spatial coordinates of the projectile at any required moment during flight.

📂 Repository Structure

• Main.m - The primary execution script that handles standalone dynamics calculations and plotting.
• minimumVelocity.m - A function file managing the underlying kinematic equations to compute the required flight velocity.
• plotTrajectory.m - A helper function validating boundaries, checking maximum height, and rendering the 3D trajectory plot.
• project_app.m - The complete interactive application interface and execution code exported from MATLAB App Designer.
