Description

Creates a new reaction wheel and adds the wheel to the current array. This will also initialise the reaction wheel with some default properties.

Parameters

Name	Description
wheelMass	[kg] RW mass
wheelPosition_B	[m] Position vector of the RW relative to the spacecraft body frame
wheelSpinAxis_B	[-] Spin axis unit vector gsHat in B-frame components
wheelModelType	[-] RW model type such as BalancedWheels, JitterSimple and JitterFullyCoupled
omega	[RPM] Initial RW speed
omegaMax	[RPM] Maximum RW speed
useFriction	[-] Set to TRUE to turn on RW internal wheel friction
useMinTorque	[-] Set to TRUE to clip any torque below a minimum torque value
useMaxTorque	[-] Set to TRUE to clip any torque value above a maximum torque value
maxTorque	[Nm] Maximum RW motor torque
minTorque	[Nm] Minimum RW motor torque
maxMomentum	[Nms] Maximum RW wheel momentum in Nms
frictionCoulomb	[Nm] Coulomb friction torque model
frictionStatic	[Nm] Static friction torque magnitude
betaStatic	[-] Stribeck friction coefficient, positive turns Stribeck friction on, negative turns this friction off
frictionViscous	[-] Viscous friction coefficient
