Core API

# All models implement this interface
a = compute_acceleration(model, args...)

# Gravity models also implement
U = compute_potential(model, args...)

Loading Gravity Models

# Parse coefficient data from ICGEM or PDS format files
data = parse_data(Float64, DataType, filename; kwargs...)
model = parse_model(Float64, ModelType, DataType, args...)

Key Conventions

• Implements AbstractAccelerationModel interface from JSMDInterfaces
• Uses PreallocationTools for cache buffers in mutable model types
• Third-body positions resolved via JSMDInterfaces.Frames.vector3 (frame graph lookup)
• Depends on Tempo.jl for time handling
• StaticArrays for return types
