PivotDemo:

Path: SC/Actuator

% Simulates a pivot rotation. 
 The pivot is rotated in two steps. The steps are timed to be exactly 
 one half nutation period apart. The results is that the spacecraft
 rolls and there is no nutation. The pivot stepping motor is modeled by 
 a high bandwidth PD controller. The gains are selected by the fields:

   d.pivotAngleGain
   d.pivotRateGain

 The selected gains are the highest feasible with an integration time
 step of 0.0625 seconds.

 The pivot is assumed to update every pivotUpdatePeriod.
