Method Detail

addContribution

public void addContribution(SpacecraftState s,
                            TimeDerivativesEquations adder)
                     throws OrekitException

Compute the contribution of the force model to the perturbing acceleration.

Specified by:

addContribution in interface ForceModel

Parameters:

s - current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

adder - object where the contribution should be added

Throws:

OrekitException - if some specific error occurs

getEventsDetectors

public EventDetector[] getEventsDetectors()

Get the discrete events related to the model.

Specified by:

Returns:

array of events detectors or null if the model is not related to any discrete events

getMu

public double getMu()

Get the central attraction coefficient &mu.

Specified by:

Returns:

mu central attraction coefficient (m³/s²)

computeGradientPosition

public boolean computeGradientPosition()

This method returns true if the acceleration partial derivatives with respect to position have to be computed.

Specified by:

Returns:

true if the derivatives have to be computed, false otherwise

computeGradientVelocity

public boolean computeGradientVelocity()

This method returns true if the acceleration partial derivatives with respect to velocity have to be computed.

Specified by:

computeGradientVelocity in interface GradientModel

Returns:

true if the derivatives have to be computed, false otherwise

computeAcceleration

public Vector3D computeAcceleration(SpacecraftState s)
                             throws OrekitException

Compute the acceleration due to the force.

Specified by:

computeAcceleration in interface ForceModel

Parameters:

s - current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

Returns:

Throws:

OrekitException - if some specific error occurs

computeAcceleration

public Vector3D computeAcceleration(PVCoordinates pv,
                                    Frame frame,
                                    AbsoluteDate date)
                             throws OrekitException

Method to compute the acceleration. This method has been implemented in order to validate the force model only. The reason is that for the validation context, we do not want to set up an instance of the SpacecraftState object to avoid the inertial frame of the spacecraft orbit.

(see Story #V82 and Feature #34 on https://www.orekit.org/forge/issues/34)

Out of the validation context, one must use the method Vector3D computeAcceleration(final SpacecraftState s)

Parameters:

pv - PV coordinates of the spacecraft

frame - frame in which the acceleration is computed

date - date

Returns:

acceleration vector

Throws:

OrekitException - if an Orekit error occurs

Specified by:

addDAccDState in interface IJacobiansParameterizable
