RWASizing:

Path: SC/Actuator

% Size a reaction wheel using maneuver requirements.

   Type RWASizing for a demo of a 3U CubeSat going 5 deg/s
   and accelerating to that in 5 seconds.

   Momentum storage will also be a function of how much momentum you
   want to absorb from disturbances. The reaction wheel inertia is
   computed using a default angular rate for the wheel of 628 rad/s.

   Since version 2014.1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [t, h, inrRWA] = RWASizing( inr, omega, omegaDot, omegaRWAMax )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   inr         (1,1)  Spacecraft inertia (kg-m^2)
   omega       (1,1)  Angular rate (rad/s)
   omegaDot    (1,1)  Angular acceleration (rad/s^2)
   omegaRWAMax (1,1)  Maximum angular rate (rad/s)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   t           (1,1)  Torque (Nm)
   h           (1,1)  Momentum storage (Nms)
   inrRWA      (1,1)  Inertia rwa
