Class
    Foam::RBD::rigidBodySolvers::symplectic

Description
    Symplectic 2nd-order explicit time-integrator for rigid-body motion.

    Reference:
    \verbatim
        Dullweber, A., Leimkuhler, B., & McLachlan, R. (1997).
        Symplectic splitting methods for rigid body molecular dynamics.
        The Journal of chemical physics, 107(15), 5840-5851.
    \endverbatim

    Can only be used for explicit integration of the motion of the body,
    i.e. may only be called once per time-step, no outer-correctors may be
    applied.  For implicit integration with outer-correctors choose either
    CrankNicolson or Newmark schemes.

    Example specification in dynamicMeshDict:
    \verbatim
    solver
    {
        type    symplectic;
    }
    \endverbatim
