CheckAlignment:

Path: FormationFlying/Analysis

% Post simulation analysis of alignment. 
 First load a data file from a DFF simulation into the Plotting Tool, then
 export the data to the workspace. Call this function to plot a time history of
 the body vector of each spacecraft that is aligned with a specified vector in
 Hill's frame.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Steps:
   >> sim = TestOrbAttControlSimStruct;  % use any simulation struct you want
   >> d = DFFSimulation( sim );          % run the simulation
   >> PlottingTool('load sim data',d);   % load the sim data to the Plotting Tool
   >> PlottingTool('export');            % export data to the workspace
   >> uB = CheckAlignment( [0;0;1] );    % analyze the alignment

   Inputs
   ------
   uH            (3,1)    Unit vector in Hills frame (default is +y direction)
   scIndex        (1)     Index of the spacercaft you wish to analyze (default is all)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   uB            {nSC,1}  Cell array of time histories of unit body-frame
                             vectors aligned with specified Hills frame vector
