Rough Ellipsoid Structure Tools (REST)

REST is a Java GUI application package for generating realistic cosmic dust structures. It uses the CALLTARGET function from DDSCAT to generate ELLIPSOIDS or SUPER-ELLIPSOIDS as base structure depending on the selected structure and shape parameters like the radius, semi-axes and exponents. The program asks the user to provide seed cells which are initial set of points randomly selected for the material and space from the base structure. Depending on the type and number of seeds generated, the code cuts the base structure into STRONGLY DAMAGED SPHERE (SDS), ROUGH SURFACES (RS), POKED STRUCTURES (PS) and ROUGH FRACTAL AGGREGATES (RFA) by measuring the distance of each point with respect to the seed points. REST uses following algorithms to creaft different cosmic dust structures:

1. Strongly Damaged Sphere (SDS)

2. Rough Surface (RS)

3. Poked Structure (PS)

4. Rough Surface Super-ellipsoid (RS-SE)

5. Poked Structure Super-ellipsoid (PS-SE)

6. Rough Fractal Aggregates (RFA)

Note

The above mentioned algorithms are the fundamental procedures and can be used to develope new kind of dust morphologies that are yet to be configured.
