Detailed Description

Rigid body with multiple reaction wheels.

Models a spacecraft with a set of identical reaction wheels. The default wheel set is orthogonal + skew (4 wheels). The torque must be provide by a child model. The model accepts apply_force, apply_torque, and apply_rwa_torque messages during rhs().

Member Function Documentation

rhs()

void rigid_body_rwa::rhs	(	double	t,
		double	jd
	)

Computation done during numerical integration.

Quaternion kinematics and orbit derivative with wheels dynamics.

Uses qi_to_b_dot from the SCControl framework. Overwrites rigid_body's rhs without calling it.

References acceleration_dsim, angular_acceleration_dsim, bodyRate_dsim, get_adj_mass(), position_dsim, quaternion_dsim, rWARate_dsim, totalMass_dsim, and velocity_dsim.

handle_message()

dsim_value rigid_body_rwa::handle_message	(	const std::string &	sender_path,
		const std::string &	message_name,
		const dsim_value &	argument
	)

Handle force and torque messages.

Handles these message:

• "apply_force"
• "apply_torque"
• "apply_rwa_torque"

get_adj_mass()

double rigid_body_rwa::get_adj_mass ( )

protected

Add up the mass of any children that have a mass variable.

Store the new mass and reset the changed mass flag.
