All Implemented Interfaces:

EventDetector, Serializable

public class EventShifter
extends AbstractDetector

Wrapper shifting events occurrences times.

This class wraps an event detector to slightly shift the events occurrences times. A typical use case is for handling operational delays before or after some physical event really occurs.

For example, the satellite attitude mode may be switched from sun pointed to spin-stabilized a few minutes before eclipse entry, and switched back to sun pointed a few minutes after eclipse exit. This behavior is handled by wrapping an eclipse detector into an instance of this class with a positive times shift for increasing events (eclipse exit) and a negative times shift for decreasing events (eclipse entry).

Constructor Detail

EventShifter

public EventShifter(EventDetector detectorIn,
                    boolean useShiftedStatesIn,
                    double increasingTimeShift,
                    double decreasingTimeShift)

Build a new instance.

The max check interval, the convergence threshold of the raw unshifted events will be used for the shifted event. When an event occurs, the eventOccurred method of the raw unshifted events will be called (with spacecraft state at either the shifted or the unshifted event date depending on the useShiftedStates parameter).

Parameters:

detectorIn - event detector for the raw unshifted event

useShiftedStatesIn - if true, the state provided to eventOccurred method of the detector will remain shifted, otherwise it will be unshifted to correspond to the underlying raw event.

increasingTimeShift - increasing events time shift.

decreasingTimeShift - decreasing events time shift.

Method Detail

getIncreasingTimeShift

public double getIncreasingTimeShift()

Get the increasing events time shift.

Returns:

increasing events time shift

getDecreasingTimeShift

public double getDecreasingTimeShift()

Get the decreasing events time shift.

Returns:

decreasing events time shift

init

public void init(SpacecraftState s0,
                 AbsoluteDate t)
          throws PatriusException

Initialize event handler at the start of a propagation.

This method is called once at the start of the propagation. It may be used by the event handler to initialize some internal data if needed.

Specified by:

init in interface EventDetector

Overrides:

init in class AbstractDetector

Parameters:

s0 - initial state

t - target time for the integration

Throws:

PatriusException - thrown if initialization failed

shouldBeRemoved

public boolean shouldBeRemoved()

This method is called after EventDetector.eventOccurred(fr.cnes.sirius.patrius.propagation.SpacecraftState, boolean, boolean) has been triggered. It returns true if the current detector should be removed after first event detection. WARNING: this method can be called only once a event has been triggered. Before, the value is not available.

Specified by:

shouldBeRemoved in interface EventDetector

Overrides:

shouldBeRemoved in class AbstractDetector

Returns:

true if the current detector should be removed after first event detection

eventOccurred

public EventDetector.Action eventOccurred(SpacecraftState s,
                                          boolean increasing,
                                          boolean forward)
                                   throws PatriusException

Handle an event and choose what to do next.

The scheduling between this method and the PatriusStepHandler method handleStep() is to call this method first and handleStep afterwards. This scheduling allows the propagator to pass true as the isLast parameter to the step handler to make it aware the step will be the last one if this method returns EventDetector.Action.STOP. As the interpolator may be used to navigate back throughout the last step (as OrekitStepNormalizer does for example), user code called by this method and user code called by step handlers may experience apparently out of order values of the independent time variable. As an example, if the same user object implements both this EventDetector interface and the OrekitFixedStepHandler interface, a forward integration may call its eventOccurred method with a state at 2000-01-01T00:00:10 first and call its handleStep method with a state at 2000-01-01T00:00:09 afterwards. Such out of order calls are limited to the size of the integration step for variable step handlers and to the size of the fixed step for fixed step handlers.

Specified by:

eventOccurred in interface EventDetector

Overrides:

eventOccurred in class AbstractDetector

Parameters:

s - the current state information: date, kinematics, attitude for forces and events computation, mass provider, and additional states

increasing - if true, the value of the switching function increases when times increases around event (note that increase is measured with respect to physical time, not with respect to propagation which may go backward in time)

forward - if true, the integration variable (time) increases during integration.

Returns:

one of EventDetector.Action.STOP, EventDetector.Action.RESET_STATE, EventDetector.Action.RESET_DERIVATIVES, EventDetector.Action.CONTINUE

Throws:

PatriusException - if some specific error occurs

g

public double g(SpacecraftState s)
         throws PatriusException

Compute the value of the switching function. This function must be continuous (at least in its roots neighborhood), as the integrator will need to find its roots to locate the events.

Specified by:

g in interface EventDetector

Specified by:

g in class AbstractDetector

Parameters:

s - the current state information: date, kinematics, attitude for forces and events computation, mass provider, and additional states

Returns:

value of the switching function

Throws:

PatriusException - if some specific error occurs

copy

public EventDetector copy()

A copy of the detector. By default copy is deep. If not, detector javadoc will specify which attribute is not fully copied. In that case, the attribute reference is passed.

The following attributes are not deeply copied:

• topo: TopocentricFrame

Returns:

a copy of the detector.
