Class BooleanEventFunction

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    EventFunction

    public class BooleanEventFunction
    extends Object
    implements EventFunction
    This class provides AND and OR operations for event functions. This class treats positive values of the g function as true and negative values as false.

    • Method Detail

      • orCombine

        public static BooleanEventFunction orCombine​(List<EventFunction> eventFunctions)
        Builds an OR instance.
        Parameters:
        eventFunctions - functions to reduce
        Returns:
        reduced event function
      • andCombine

        public static BooleanEventFunction andCombine​(List<EventFunction> eventFunctions)
        Builds an AND instance.
        Parameters:
        eventFunctions - functions to reduce
        Returns:
        reduced event function
      • value

        public <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> T value​(FieldSpacecraftState<T> fieldState)
        Description copied from interface: EventFunction
        Evaluate Field function. By default, calls the non-Field version. This is suitable for detection but not be for applications like automatic differentiation, where a proper implementation should be used instead.
        Specified by:
        value in interface EventFunction
        Type Parameters:
        T - field type
        Parameters:
        fieldState - spacecraft state
        Returns:
        value
      • dependsOnTimeOnly

        public boolean dependsOnTimeOnly()
        Description copied from interface: EventFunction
        Method returning true if and only if the event function does not depend on dependent variables, just the independent one i.e. time. This information is used for performance in propagation and derivatives correction with switches in the dynamics.
        Specified by:
        dependsOnTimeOnly in interface EventFunction
        Returns:
        flag
      • dependsOnMainVariablesOnly

        public boolean dependsOnMainVariablesOnly()
        Description copied from interface: EventFunction
        Method returning true if and only if the event function does not depend on dependent variables, other than the Cartesian coordinates (or equivalent), mass and attitude (excepts for its rates). It should thus return false if the STM is needed to evaluate the event. This information is used for performance in propagation.
        Specified by:
        dependsOnMainVariablesOnly in interface EventFunction
        Returns:
        flag
