Implement mathematical representation of centrifugal effect for planetary gravity
Aerospace Blockset / Environment / Gravity
The Centrifugal Effect Model block implements the mathematical representation of centrifugal effect for planetary gravity. The gravity centrifugal effect is the acceleration portion of centrifugal force effects due to the rotation of a planet. This block implements this representation using planetary rotation rates. You use centrifugal force values in rotating or non-inertial coordinate systems.
