Logo Tesseroids 1.0: User Manual and API Documentation

Welcome

About

Tesseroids is a software package for the direct modeling of gravitational fields in spherical coordinates.

It can model the gravitational potential, acceleration and gradient tensor. The geometric element used in the modelling processes is a spherical prism, also called a tesseroid.

Tesseroids is coded in the C programming language, making it portable to GNU/Linux and Windows systems.

This software is developed by Leonardo Uieda in cooperation with Carla Braitenberg with some funding from GOCE Italy.
