public interface ForceModel
extends ParametersDriversProvider
```
This interface represents a force modifying spacecraft motion.
Objects implementing this interface are intended to be added to a numerical propagator before the propagation is started.
The propagator will call at each step the addContribution(SpacecraftState, TimeDerivativesEquations) method. The force model instance will extract all the state data it needs (date, position, velocity, frame, attitude, mass) from the first parameter. From these state data, it will compute the perturbing acceleration. It will then add this acceleration to the second parameter which will take thins contribution into account and will use the Gauss equations to evaluate its impact on the global state derivative.

Force models which create discontinuous acceleration patterns (typically for maneuvers start/stop or solar eclipses entry/exit) must provide one or more events detectors to the propagator thanks to their getEventsDetectors() method. This method is called once just before propagation starts. The events states will be checked by the propagator to ensure accurate propagation and proper events handling.

  - init
```
default void init(SpacecraftState initialState,
                  AbsoluteDate target)
```
    Initialize the force model at the start of propagation. This method will be called before any calls to addContribution(SpacecraftState, TimeDerivativesEquations), addContribution(FieldSpacecraftState, FieldTimeDerivativesEquations), acceleration(SpacecraftState, double[]) or acceleration(FieldSpacecraftState, CalculusFieldElement[])
    The default implementation of this method does nothing.
    
    Parameters:
    
    initialState - spacecraft state at the start of propagation.
    
    target - date of propagation. Not equal to initialState.getDate().

```
    Initialize the force model at the start of propagation. This method will be called before any calls to addContribution(SpacecraftState, TimeDerivativesEquations), addContribution(FieldSpacecraftState, FieldTimeDerivativesEquations), acceleration(SpacecraftState, double[]) or acceleration(FieldSpacecraftState, CalculusFieldElement[])
    The default implementation of this method does nothing.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - type of the elements
