Hello,

I want to simulate the motion of debris (a cube made of pfacet) and a group of cylinders orbiting around the Earth. To do this, I want to use the Clohessy–Wiltshire equations [1]. I thought I could use the forceEngine, but it appears it can only apply a constant force. The CentralGravityEngine will not work because the length scale involved would be of the order of 6000km, so I may not be able to use the viewer to check the motion. Is there a way to define a force field using a fuction for position. The FieldApplier looks promising, but how do I use it?

Kind regards,
Rohit John
