CaseStruct
MATLAB
Cstruct = CaseStruct(P,G,Targ,[Atm],[lambda])
   or to update an existing output:
Cstruct = CaseStruct(C,[FieldName1],[FieldValue1],...
             [FieldName2],[FieldValue2],...)
Description

Returns a structure of engagement case parameters for laser engagement scenarios. Can be used to modify an existing C structure given field names and values. Shortcuts are available for modifying 'alpha', 'HELpt' and 'BILLpt'.

Parameters
Parameters 
Description 
C [struct] 
Can be a structure with fields P, G, Targ, and optionally Atm or a comma-separated list of (P,G,Targ,[Atm],[lambda]). Can also be a complete C structure followed by a list of parameters to change within that C structure. NOTE: when using the calling sequence with FieldName and FieldValue, the input C structure must be complete - an output from CaseStruct. 
P [struct] 
System parameters, as from ABLParams or LinkParams. Must have fields 'name','HEL','Tx', and 'Rx' 
G [struct] 
Geometry description from GeomStruct
Targ [struct] 
Target parameters, as from TargStruct. Must have fields 'trackpt', 'HELpt', 'TargetRadius', 'Flyout', 'Lethality', and 'HELPointing' 
Atm [struct] 
(Optional) Atmospheric description from AtmStruct 
lambda [scalar] 
(Optional) Wavelength of laser. Only used in the case where P.HEL is empty. Must pass in Atm to specify lambda, can pass [] for Atm. 
FieldName [string] 
(Optional) Name of field to be updated (some fields are restricted). 
FieldValue [varies] 
(Optional) Value for FieldName parameters. There must be a field value for each field name specified.
