SetCADQuaternion:

Path: AerospaceUtils/CAD

% Set the inertial attitude of a CAD model.
 This helper function inserts the quaternion in the correct part of the data
 structure. Due to the successive hinge model, i.e. the hinge specifies the
 rotation to the PRIOR frame, the TRANSPOSE of the inertial to body quaternion
 is assigned to the first hinge. This is not intuitive but makes the model
 self-consistent. The field set is:

   g.body(1).bHinge.q
