Method Detail

getCachedPositionAngleType

PositionAngleType getCachedPositionAngleType()

Get the cached PositionAngleType.

Returns:

cached type of position angle

hasRates

boolean hasRates()

Tells whether the instance holds rates (first-order time derivatives) for dependent variables.

Returns:

true if and only if holding rates

removeRates

PositionAngleBased removeRates()

Create a new instance such that hasRates() is false.

Returns:

new object without rates
