Detailed Description

Aircraft aerodynamic actuator model. This uses 3 tables of data passed in from a file. The table is two dimensional and is a function of altitude and mach number. The organization of the data file is [ mach_no ] m columns [ altitude] n columns [ x force (n,m) ] [ y force (n,m) ] [ z force (n,m) ]

Member Function Documentation

initialize()

void aero_actuator_table::initialize

(

char *

filename

)

Initialize the model from an ASCII text engine data file.

The first line is the mach number, the second is the altitude. From the altitude we get the number of rows. We then read in two matrices.

update()

void aero_actuator_table::update	(	double	h,
		double	m
	)

Return the torque given the altitude and mach number.

Parameters

h	Altitude
m	Mach number
