Path: SCPro/ProActuators
% Design a minimum mass air core magnetic torquer.
You pass in the dipole, wire physical parameters and wire dimensions.
It minimizes the weighted cost:
cost = alpha*mass + power
The voltage is determined by the dimensions, resistivity and dipole.
As an alternative you can input the voltage and it will return the
dipole.
Type AirCoreMagneticTorquerDesign for a demo using copper wire.
Since version 11.
