The MATLAB mex function, run_dynamics_fast is used by multiple repositories, including em-model-manned-bayes to simulate aircraft trajectories with a 6DOF physics model.
The code currently uses the MATLAB C Matrix API which works with the mxArray data structure.
Description
Update the software to use the more modern C++ MEX API. If appropriate, casts should be updated to modern C++ style as well, per the Google C++ Style Guide on casting.
Alternatives
The original source for run_dynamics_fast can be traced back to over a decade ago and the code does not take advantage of modern C++ features to improve robustness, efficiency, and ease of use. For long term substantiality of the code, an upgrade to the C++ MEX API is recommended.
Additional
Issues #12 , #11 , #10 also address run_dynamics_fast but these other issues are expected to require significantly less resources to complete than this task focused on the C++ MEX API.
While the contributing guidelines does not define a style guide for C++, we currently recommend the Google C++ Style Guide for this issue.
