Class OrekitStepNormalizer

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.propagation.sampling.OrekitStepNormalizer

All Implemented Interfaces:

OrekitStepHandler

public class OrekitStepNormalizer
extends Object
implements OrekitStepHandler

This class wraps an object implementing OrekitFixedStepHandler into a OrekitStepHandler.

It mirrors the StepNormalizer interface from Hipparchus but provides a space-dynamics interface to the methods.

Constructor Detail

OrekitStepNormalizer

public OrekitStepNormalizer(double h,
                            OrekitFixedStepHandler handler)

Simple constructor.

Parameters:

h - fixed time step (sign is not used)

handler - fixed time step handler to wrap

Method Detail

getFixedTimeStep

public double getFixedTimeStep()

Get the fixed time step.

Returns:

fixed time step

Since:

11.0

getFixedStepHandler

public OrekitFixedStepHandler getFixedStepHandler()

Get the underlying fixed step handler.

Returns:

underlying fixed step handler

Since:

11.0

requiresDenseOutput

public boolean requiresDenseOutput()

Determines whether this handler needs dense output. This handler needs dense output in order to provide data at regularly spaced steps regardless of the steps the propagator uses, so this method always returns true.

Returns:

always true

init

public void init(SpacecraftState s0,
                 AbsoluteDate t)

Initialize step handler at the start of a propagation.

This method is called once at the start of the propagation. It may be used by the step handler to initialize some internal data if needed.

The default method does nothing

Specified by:

init in interface OrekitStepHandler

Parameters:

s0 - initial state

t - target time for the integration

handleStep

public void handleStep(OrekitStepInterpolator interpolator)

Handle the last accepted step.

Specified by:

handleStep in interface OrekitStepHandler

Parameters:

interpolator - interpolator for the last accepted step. For efficiency purposes, the various propagators reuse the same object on each call, so if the instance wants to keep it across all calls (for example to provide at the end of the propagation a continuous model valid throughout the propagation range), it should build a local copy using the clone method and store this copy.

finish

public void finish(SpacecraftState finalState)

Finalize propagation.

Specified by:

finish in interface OrekitStepHandler

Parameters:

finalState - state at propagation end
