space::irbem::TraceOptions

cheatah-space v0.1.0-alpha — Biome Standard 0.6.5-alpha

Tuning for a trace.

Defaults reproduce the reference implementation's behaviour so a differential comparison is comparing ALGORITHMS rather than resolutions.

Constants & variables

var double steps_per_l #

Steps per unit L — the reference's Nreb.

ds = L/steps_per_l. See the file brief on why this is proportional to L rather than absolute.

var int max_steps #

The hard cap on RK4 steps.

Reaching it means the line did not close: an open field line, or a start point outside the model's domain. Reported as Status::OpenFieldLine, never as a silently truncated integral.

var double min_radius #

The radius at which a trace is considered to have reached the atmosphere, in Earth radii.
