RefractionModelSCFMethod#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.RefractionModelSCFMethod#

SCF Method.

Overview#

atmosphere_altitude

Altitude of the atmosphere. Used to compute the knee bend point of the refracted path. Uses Distance Dimension.

ceiling

Refraction will be ignored if object altitude is higher than the ceiling. Uses Distance Dimension.

coefficients

Get the polynomial coefficients.

knee_bend_factor

Used to compute the distance to the knee bend point of the refracted path. Dimensionless.

minimum_target_altitude

Minimum altitude of target for which the refraction will be computed unless extrapolation is used. Uses Distance Dimension.

refraction_index

Index of refraction at the surface. Dimensionless.

use_extrapolation

Flag controls whether extrapolation is used past the minimum target altitude.

use_refraction_index

Flag controls whether a constant refraction index is used or the refraction polynomial fit.
