32 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
33 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
35 This class takes the given set of IC's and finds the aircraft state required to
36 maintain a specified flight condition. This flight condition can be
37 steady-level with non-zero sideslip, a steady turn, a pull-up or pushover.
38 On-ground conditions can be trimmed as well, but this is currently limited to
39 adjusting altitude and pitch angle only. It is implemented using an iterative,
40 one-axis-at-a-time scheme.

85 /** FGTrim -- the trimming routine for JSBSim.
86 FGTrim finds the aircraft attitude and control settings needed to maintain
87 the steady state described by the FGInitialCondition object . It does this
88 iteratively by assigning a control to each state and adjusting that control
89 until the state is within a specified tolerance of zero. States include the
90 recti-linear accelerations udot, vdot, and wdot, the angular accelerations
91 qdot, pdot, and rdot, and the difference between heading and ground track.
92 Controls include the usual flight deck controls available to the pilot plus
93 angle of attack (alpha), sideslip angle(beta), flight path angle (gamma),
94 pitch attitude(theta), roll attitude(phi), and altitude above ground. The
95 last three are used for on-ground trimming. The state-control pairs used in
96 a given trim are completely user configurable and several pre-defined modes
97 are provided as well. They are:
99 <li> tLongitudinal: Trim wdot with alpha, udot with thrust, qdot with elevator</li>
100 <li> tFull: tLongitudinal + vdot with phi, pdot with aileron, rdot with rudder
101 and heading minus ground track (hmgt) with beta</li>
102 <li> tPullup: tLongitudinal but adjust alpha to achieve load factor input
105 <li> tGround: wdot with altitude, qdot with theta, and pdot with phi</li>
107 The remaining modes include <b>tCustom</b>, which is completely user defined and
111 Note that trims can (and do) fail for reasons that are completely outside
112 the control of the trimming routine itself. The most common problem is the
113 initial conditions: is the model capable of steady state flight
114 at those conditions? Check the speed, altitude, configuration (flaps,
115 gear, etc.), weight, cg, and anything else that may be relevant.
