ForceAndTorqueEnvelope:

Path: AerospaceUtils/CAD

% Computes the force and torque envelope. n is the number of samples.
 If set to zero it will compute only along the axes. For n > 0 it
 always computes along the axes and n additional random directions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [fE, tE] = ForceAndTorqueEnvelope( u, thrust, n )

   r              (3,:)     Position vectors wrt cm
   thrust         (1,:)     Maximum thrust vector
   n              (1,1)     Number of samples

   Outputs
   -------
   s              (1,n+6)  Maximum along the corresponding 6 vector
   b              (6,n+6)  6 Vector [u;rXu];
