NAME

getmoid - compute the MOID from Kepler orbit elements

SYNOPSIS

getmoid [-extravars vardefs]

DESCRIPTION

getmoid reads a catalog containing Keplerian elements a, e, i, omega, Omega, M and cartesian r[3], v[3].

It then varies M to find the moid and outputs the elements as well as the velocity of the particles at MOID.

With -extravars option we carry defined variables along. For example, use -extrvars myscalar:1:myvector:3 to carry along myscalar and myvector[3]
