Detailed Description

The handle class MobilizedBody::Custom (dataless) and its companion class MobilizedBody::Custom::Implementation can be used together to define new MobilizedBody types with arbitrary properties.

To use it, create a class that extends MobilizedBody::Custom::Implementation. You can then create an instance of it and pass it to the MobilizedBody::Custom constructor:

 MobilizedBody::Custom myMobilizedBody(new MyMobilizedBodyImplementation(args));
 

Alternatively, you can also create a new Handle class which is a subclass of MobilizedBody::Custom and which creates the Implementation itself in its constructors.

 class MyMobilizedBody : public MobilizedBody::Custom {
 public:
   MyMobilizedBody(args) : MobilizedBody::Custom(new MyForceImplementation(args)) {
   }
 }
 

This allows an end user to simply write

 MyMobilizedBody(args);
 

and not worry about implementation classes or creating objects on the heap. If you do this, your MobilizedBody::Custom subclass must not have any data members or virtual methods. If it does, it will not work correctly. Instead, store all data in the Implementation subclass.
