Digital simulation for post-docking response

The digital program, 2BODY, which simulates the translational and rotational motion of two connected rigid bodies and provides both digital and plot output is described. Relative rotation of the bodies at the connection is allowed, thereby providing a model suitable for studying system stability and response during a soft-dock regime. A users manual for the program is given as well as all the details and background pertaining to the equations of motion and mathematical models, integration scheme, and input/output routines.
