fr.cnes.sirius.patrius.attitudes.VariableStepAttitudeEphemerisGenerator

public class VariableStepAttitudeEphemerisGenerator
extends AbstractAttitudeEphemerisGenerator

This class handles the generation of attitude ephemeris from an attitude laws sequence AttitudeLegsSequence, using a variable time step.
The ephemeris generation can be done setting the generation time interval (the default value is the time interval of the sequence), and the treatment to apply to the transition points of the sequence (ignore them, compute the attitude of the initial date of the laws, compute the attitude of the initial and final date of the laws).

Constructor Detail

VariableStepAttitudeEphemerisGenerator

public VariableStepAttitudeEphemerisGenerator(AttitudeLegsSequence legsSequence,
                                              double stepMin,
                                              double stepMax,
                                              double angDistMax)

Builds an attitude ephemeris generator using a variable time step and ignoring the attitude law transition points of the sequence.

Parameters:

legsSequence - the sequence of attitude legs.

stepMin - the minimum time step

stepMax - the maximum time step

angDistMax - the maximum allowed angular distance between two consecutive attitude ephemeris

VariableStepAttitudeEphemerisGenerator

public VariableStepAttitudeEphemerisGenerator(AttitudeLegsSequence legsSequence,
                                              double stepMin,
                                              double stepMax,
                                              double angDistMax,
                                              int transitions)

Builds an attitude ephemeris generator using a variable time step and choosing the treatment to apply to the transition points of the sequence.

Parameters:

legsSequence - the sequence of attitude legs.

stepMin - the minimum time step

stepMax - the maximum time step

angDistMax - the maximum allowed angular distance between two consecutive attitude ephemeris

transitions - what to do with the attitude laws transition points:

• AbstractAttitudeEphemerisGenerator.NO_TRANSITIONS to ignore the transition points of the sequence
• AbstractAttitudeEphemerisGenerator.START_TRANSITIONS to compute the initial dates of the attitude laws
• AbstractAttitudeEphemerisGenerator.START_END_TRANSITIONS to compute the initial and final dates of the attitude laws.
