JSBSim Flight Dynamics Model  1.2.0 (05 Nov 2023)
An Open Source Flight Dynamics and Control Software Library in C++
FGModelFunctions Class Reference

Detailed Description

The model functions class provides the capability for loading, storing, and executing arbitrary functions.

For certain classes, such as the engine, aerodynamics, ground reactions, mass balance, etc., it can be useful to incorporate special functions that can operate on the local model parameters before and/or after the model executes. For example, there is no inherent chamber pressure calculation done in the rocket engine model. However, an arbitrary function can be added to a specific rocket engine XML configuration file. It would be tagged with a "pre" or "post" type attribute to denote whether the function is to be executed before or after the standard model algorithm.
