Module: nHingedRigidBodyStateEffector¶

This class is an instantiation of the stateEffector class and is a N-hinged rigid body effector. This effector is a rigid body attached to the hub through a torsional spring and damper that approximates a flexible appendage. See Allard, Schaub, and Piggott paper: General Hinged Solar Panel Dynamics Approximating First-Order Spacecraft Flexing for a detailed description of this model. A hinged rigid body has 2 states: theta and thetaDot

The module PDF Description contains further information on this module’s function, how to run it, as well as testing.
