Class FieldApsideDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.propagation.events.FieldAbstractDetector<FieldApsideDetector<T>,T>

org.orekit.propagation.events.FieldApsideDetector<T>

Type Parameters:

T - type of the field elements

All Implemented Interfaces:

FieldEventDetector<T>

public class FieldApsideDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
extends FieldAbstractDetector<FieldApsideDetector<T>,T>

Finder for apside crossing events.

This class finds apside crossing events (i.e. apogee or perigee crossing).

The default implementation behavior is to continue propagation at apogee crossing and to stop propagation at perigee crossing. This can be changed by calling FieldAbstractDetector.withHandler(FieldEventHandler) after construction.

Beware that apside detection will fail for almost circular orbits. If for example an apside detector is used to trigger an ImpulseManeuver and the maneuver change the orbit shape to circular, then the detector may completely fail just after the maneuver has been performed!

Constructor Detail

FieldApsideDetector

public FieldApsideDetector(FieldOrbit<T> orbit)

Build a new instance.

The orbit is used only to set an upper bound for the max check interval to period/3 and to set the convergence threshold according to orbit size

Parameters:

orbit - initial orbit

FieldApsideDetector

public FieldApsideDetector(T threshold,
                           FieldOrbit<T> orbit)

Build a new instance.

The orbit is used only to set an upper bound for the max check interval to period/3

Parameters:

threshold - convergence threshold (s)

orbit - initial orbit

FieldApsideDetector

public FieldApsideDetector(FieldAdaptableInterval<T> maxCheck,
                           T threshold,
                           int maxIter,
                           FieldEventHandler<T> handler)

Protected constructor with full parameters.

This constructor is public because otherwise all accessible ones would require an orbit.

Parameters:

maxCheck - maximum checking interval

threshold - convergence threshold (s)

maxIter - maximum number of iterations in the event time search

handler - event handler to call at event occurrences

Method Detail

create

protected FieldApsideDetector<T> create(FieldAdaptableInterval<T> newMaxCheck,
                                        T newThreshold,
                                        int newMaxIter,
                                        FieldEventHandler<T> newHandler)

Build a new instance.

Specified by:

create in class FieldAbstractDetector<FieldApsideDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>,T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Parameters:

newMaxCheck - maximum checking interval

newThreshold - convergence threshold (s)

newMaxIter - maximum number of iterations in the event time search

newHandler - event handler to call at event occurrences

Returns:

a new instance of the appropriate sub-type

g

public T g(FieldSpacecraftState<T> s)

Compute the value of the switching function. This function computes the dot product of the 2 vectors : position.velocity.

Specified by:

g in interface FieldEventDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Specified by:

g in class FieldAbstractDetector<FieldApsideDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>,T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Parameters:

s - the current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

Returns:

value of the switching function
