Equations of Motion

Implement 3DoF, 6DoF, and point mass equations of motion to determine body position, velocity, attitude, related values

Simulate three-and six-degrees-of-freedom equations of motion with fixed and variable mass using the equations of motion blocks. Coordinate representations of the equations of motion include body, wind, and Earth-centered Earth-fixed (ECEF). Fourth- and sixth-order point mass equations of motion provide simplified representations of vehicle dynamics for multiple body modeling.
