ConstraintForceAndTorque:

Path: SCPro/DynamicalModels

% Computes the constraint forces and torques.
   It computes the separation forces and torques needed to keep
   the relative velocity between the first vehicle and the rest zero.

   Type ConstraintForceAndTorque for a simulation of two attached
   spacecraft.

   The 2nd spacecraft should rotate around the first one.

   Note that for all arrays body 0 is the first column or element except
   for lambda and kappa where the columns correspond to the hinge vectors.
   hinge 1 is between body 0 and body 1, hinge 2 is between body 0 and
   body 2, etc.

   Since version 8.
