Trait nyx_space::dynamics::ForceModel[−][src]

pub trait ForceModel: Send + Sync {
    fn eom(&self, ctx: &Spacecraft) -> Result<Vector3<f64>, NyxError>;

    fn dual_eom(
        &self, 
        radius: &Vector3<Hyperdual<f64, U7>>, 
        osc_ctx: &Spacecraft
    ) -> Result<(Vector3<f64>, Matrix3<f64>), NyxError>;
}
Expand description

The ForceModel trait handles immutable dynamics which return a force. Those will be divided by the mass of the spacecraft to compute the acceleration (F = ma).

Examples include Solar Radiation Pressure, drag, etc., i.e. forces which do not need to save the current state, only act on it.

Required methods

Defines the equations of motion for this force model from the provided osculating state.

Force models must implement their partials, although those will only be called if the propagation requires the computation of the STM. The osc_ctx is the osculating context, i.e. it changes for each sub-step of the integrator.
