Hello,
As in the title, I need to simulate an aircraft mission with varying mass. In the Aerospace Blockset, I’ve so found the Simple Variable Mass (3DOF). I have some problems in interpreting these inertia definitions:
Empty inertia — Body inertia when fuel tank is full
0.5 (default) | scalar
Body inertia when the fuel tank is full, specified as a double scalar.
and
Full inertia — Full inertia
3.0 (default) | scalar
Full inertia of the body, specified as a scalar.
My concerns involves the difference between Empty and full inertia. From the documentation, they seem to be the same. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.Hello,
