Detailed Description

This class attempts to find the configuration of an internal coordinate model which best fits a set of observed data.

The inputs to the algorithm are as follows:

A MultibodySystem which describes the model to fit
A set of points (called "stations") whose locations are defined relative to particular bodies
The target location for each station, defined relative to ground
(optional) A weight for each station, giving its relative importance for fitting

The output is a State giving the set of internal coordinates that best fit the stations to the target locations.

Find the configuration of a MultibodySystem which best fits a set of target locations for stations.

This is identical to the other form of findBestFit(), but assumes every station has a weight of 1.

		State &	state,
		const std::vector< MobilizedBodyIndex > &	bodyIxs,
		const std::vector< std::vector< Vec3 > > &	stations,
		const std::vector< std::vector< Vec3 > > &	targetLocations,
		Real	tolerance = `0.001`

static

Find the configuration of a MultibodySystem which best fits a set of target locations for stations.

Parameters

system	the MultibodySystem being analyzed
state	on exit, this State's Q vector contains the values which provide a best fit
bodyIxs	a list of MobilizedBodyIndexs corresponding to the bodies for which stations are defined
stations	the list of stations for each body. stations[i][j] is the location of the j'th station for the body given by bodyIxs[i], given in that body's reference frame.
targetLocations	the target locations for each body, given relative to ground. targetLocations[i][j] is the target for stations[i][j].
weights	weights[i][j] is the weight to use for stations[i][j] when performing the fitting
tolerance	the distance tolerance within which the best fit should be found

Returns: the RMS distance of points in the best fit conformation from their target locations
