The attitude kinematics of a rigid body is simulated with this functional library block. This block is intended for simulation (academic) purposes, where the time history of the attitude in term of Rodrigues Parameters is provided. See [1] for reference on the subject.

This library block is part of a library currently being developed for the simulation of spacecraft attitude control systems.
