Putting a Multibody Model in Orbit

schipman
I am curious if anyone has experience with trying to put an ADAMS model into orbit (i.e., propagating an orbit with gravitational forces, perturbations etc. while simulating the model of interest). After searching this forum and the help, nothing comes up which makes me think it isn't common or maybe even feasible. While I haven't tried, I can think of some potential issues, namely the large difference in scale of the orbit and the model which would seemingly create integrator problems. Seemingly the force and torque laws could be implemented, but to what success, I am not sure. In summary, I was looking for anybody's experiences with trying this and/or any thoughts/suggestions.
