Nu2TimeDomain:

Path: FormationFlying/Utility

% Convert a relative state from the nu-domain to the time-domain.

   This changes only the relative velocity portion (elements 4 thru 6) of
   the state vector.

   For this conversion, the velocity terms are multiplied by the
   time-derivative of the true anomaly.

   Since version 7.
