HISTORY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7/1/99 TP Created FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The purpose of this class is to take a set of initial conditions and provide a kinematically consistent set of body axis velocity components, euler angles, and altitude. This class does not attempt to trim the model i.e. the sim will most likely start in a very dynamic state (unless, of course, you have chosen your IC's wisely) even after setting it up with this class. CAVEAT: This class makes use of alpha=theta-gamma. This means that setting any of the three with this class is only valid for steady state (all accels zero) and zero pitch rate. One example where this would produce invalid results is setting up for a trim in a pull-up or pushover (both have nonzero pitch rate). Maybe someday... ******************************************************************************** SENTRY *******************************************************************************/ #ifndef FGINITIALCONDITION_H #define FGINITIALCONDITION_H /******************************************************************************* INCLUDES *******************************************************************************/ #include "FGFDMExec.h" #include "FGAtmosphere.h" /******************************************************************************* CLASS DECLARATION *******************************************************************************/ class FGInitialCondition { public: FGInitialCondition(FGFDMExec *fdmex); ~FGInitialCondition(void); /* void SetVcalibratedKtsIC(float tt); */ void SetVtrueKtsIC(float tt); /* void SetMachIC(float tt); */ void SetAltitudeFtIC(float tt); void SetFlightPathAngleDegIC(float tt); //"vertical" flight path, solve for alpha using speed //void SetClimbRateFpmIC(float tt); //overwrite gamma void SetAlphaDegIC(float tt); //use currently stored gamma void SetBetaDegIC(float tt); void SetRollAngleDegIC(float tt); void SetPitchAngleDegIC(float tt); //use currently stored gamma void SetHeadingDegIC(float tt); void SetLatitudeDegIC(float tt); void SetLongitudeDegIC(float tt); float GetUBodyFpsIC(void); float GetVBodyFpsIC(void); float GetWBodyFpsIC(void); float GetThetaRadIC(void); float GetPhiRadIC(void); float GetPsiRadIC(void); float GetLatitudeRadIC(void); float GetLongitudeRadIC(void); float GetAltitudeFtIC(void); private: float vt,vc; float alpha,beta,gamma,theta,phi,psi; float mach; float altitude,hdot; float u,v,w; float latitude,longitude; FGAtmosphere *atm; }; #endif
