[ODE] Matrices

[Si Brown]

Hi all,

dMULTIPLY1_331 applies the transpose of the argument matrix to the vector 
(from a quick look at the source - so I could be wrong). Since rotation 
matrices are orthonormal this is also the inverse, so your function should 
look something like:

void dBodyGetAngularVel_BodySpace (dBodyID b, dReal* v)
{
  dAASSERT (b && v);
  dMULTIPLY1_331 (v,b->R,b->avel);
}

Hope that helps,
Si
