SBGAT V2.02.4

New

• SBGAT 2.02.4 introduces SBGATPolyhedronGravityModelUQ, a class dedicated to uncertainty quantification in Polyhedron Gravity potentials and accelerations arising from a stochastic shape. This class enables the evaluation of the variance in the potential and covariance in the acceleration at any point in space (excluding shape edges)
• Expanded and consolidated the Tests suite.

Improvements

• Length unit consistency has been completely overhauled.
  • All of SBGAT's filters (SBGATMassproperties, SBGATSphericalHarmo, SBGATPolyhedronGravityModel,...) will return results using meters as length unit. For instance, calling GetAcceleration from the SBGATPolyhedronGravityModel class will always return an acceleration in m/s^2.
  • Similarly, any method from the aforementioned filters expects an input position to be expressed in meters.
  • Classes documentation has been updated to reflect this change
  • Overall consistency is enforced by manually specifying the unit in which a given shape model is specified through the use of SetScaleMeters or SetScaleKiloMeters. This way, a shape whose coordinates are expressed in kilometers can be connected to an instance of SBGATMassproperties or any other filter and used in a completely transparent manner as long as SetScaleKiloMeters is called on the filter before Update()
  • SBGATMassproperties, SBGATSphericalHarmo and SBGATPolyhedronGravityModel are initialized by default for a shape whose length unit are in meters (i.e the scaleFactor member is set to 1 by default, and set to 1000 if SetScaleKiloMeters() is called)
• Work is in progress to revamp the main page of the doxygen documentation
