jsbsim additional moments due to force applied not at CoG
« on: July 23, 2014, 05:14:21 pm »

Hi guys,

Code: [Select]
<location name="AERORP" unit="IN">
<x> 0.0 </x>
<y> 0.0 </y>
<z> 0.0 </z>
</location>
<location name="VRP" unit="IN">
<x> 0.0 </x>
<y> 0.0 </y>
<z> 0.0 </z>
</location>

    </metrics>

    <mass_balance>
        <ixx unit="SLUG*FT2"> 1000000 </ixx>
        <iyy unit="SLUG*FT2"> 1000000 </iyy>
        <izz unit="SLUG*FT2"> 1000000 </izz>
        <emptywt unit="LBS"> 100000 </emptywt>
        <location name="CG" unit="IN">
            <x> 0 </x>
            <y> 0 </y>
            <z> 0 </z>
        </location>

As you can see any force I apply is at the CoG point 0,0,0

However I'm seeing additional moments of rotations specifically the pitch, but roll to some degree....

I'm using an identical fdm (no code changes) to one used in Flightgear, in Flightgear there's no additional moments, but in Outerra there are..

Can the devs look into this ?

If you tell me what version of JSBsim we're using I'll ask on the jsbsim forum for them to have a look see, cause I can't see how an Outerra installation of a 'black box' jsbsim application can be anything but a jsbsim fault....

Then again.....

regards

Simon

I'd check the fuel tank locations. I believe they contribute to the balance as far as I know.

Can I ask..

Is the lack of response because of...

a) It's being looked at be patient.
b) Don't believe your observations so not looking at.
c) Gone fishing be back next week.
d) Didn't understand the problem.

I'm only asking as I don't want this to fall into a black hole.

When you do get back from fishing, don't spend any time on this I'm still experimenting, it might be something else... need to investigate more..
