Simulation of Trojan Asteroids of a Binary System

The 3D display is made in inertial frame or rotating frame linked to the binary system

Modify the parameters 'm1/m2/r12' in 'simTrojanInit.m' in order to change the binary system ( by default Sun / Jupiter )
Modify the parameter 'np' in the block 'initialization' in order Increase/decrease the number of asteroids ( by default 20 )
Modify the parameter 'n' in 'plot3D.m' in order to get remanent trajectories (set it to 50 or more )
