Interface OrekitStepHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

OrekitStepHandlerMultiplexer, OrekitStepNormalizer

public interface OrekitStepHandler

This interface is a space-dynamics aware step handler.

It mirrors the StepHandler interface from commons-math but provides a space-dynamics interface to the methods.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	handleStep(OrekitStepInterpolator interpolator, boolean isLast) Handle the current step.
void	init(SpacecraftState s0, AbsoluteDate t) Initialize step handler at the start of a propagation.

Method Detail

init

void init(SpacecraftState s0,
        AbsoluteDate t)
          throws PropagationException

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.

Parameters:

s0 - initial state

t - target time for the integration

Throws:

PropagationException - if step handler cannot be initialized

handleStep

void handleStep(OrekitStepInterpolator interpolator,
              boolean isLast)
                throws PropagationException

Handle the current step.

Parameters:

interpolator - interpolator set up for the current step

isLast - if true, this is the last integration step

Throws:

PropagationException - if step cannot be handled
