6DOF
Implement six-degrees-of-freedom equations of motion in simulations, using Euler
angles and quaternion representations
Model and simulate point mass and six-degrees-of-freedom dynamics of fixed or variable mass atmospheric flight vehicles. Define representations of the equations of motion in body, wind, and Earth-centered, Earth-fixed (ECEF) coordinate systems. Transform between coordinate systems and perform unit conversions to ensure model consistency.
