Ground vehicle object.

Overview#

Properties

`graphics`	Get the ground vehicle’s 2D Graphics properties.
`graphics_3d`	Get the ground vehicle’s 3D Graphics properties.
`export_tools`	Return the GroundVehicleExportTools interface.
`atmosphere`	Do not use this property, as it is deprecated. The new RFEnvironment property can be used to configure atmospheric models.
`radar_clutter_map`	Return the radar clutter map.
`radar_cross_section`	Return the radar cross sectoin.
`laser_environment`	Get the laser environment.
`rf_environment`	Get the RF environment.
`lighting_maximum_step_terrain`	Get or set the maximum step size to use when computing lighting when UseTerrainInLightingComputations is true. Uses Time Dimension.
`lighting_maximum_step_central_body_shape`	Get or set the maximum step size to use when computing lighting when UseTerrainInLightingComputations is false. Uses Time Dimension.
`get_eoir_settings`	Get the EOIR properties of the gound vehicle.

Examples#

Add Array of Waypoints to a Ground Vehicle and Interpolate over Terrain

# GroundVehicle grndVehicle: Ground Vehicle object
route = grndVehicle.route
ptsArray = [
    [41.97766217, 21.44863761, 0, 0.026, 0.5],
    [41.97422351, 21.39956154, 0, 0.026, 0.5],
    [41.99173299, 21.40796942, 0, 0.026, 0.5],
]
route.set_points_smooth_rate_and_propagate(ptsArray)
route.set_altitude_reference_type(VehicleAltitudeReference.TERRAIN)
route.altitude_reference.granularity = 0.001
route.altitude_reference.interpolation_method = VehicleWaypointInterpolationMethod.TERRAIN_HEIGHT
# Propagate the route
route.propagate()

Set the Great Arc Propagator and Add Individual Waypoints to a Ground Vehicle

# GroundVehicle grndVehicle: Ground Vehicle object
# Set route to great arc, method and altitude reference
groundVehicle.set_route_type(PropagatorType.GREAT_ARC)
route = groundVehicle.route
route.method = VehicleWaypointComputationMethod.DETERMINE_TIME_ACCELERATION_FROM_VELOCITY
route.set_altitude_reference_type(VehicleAltitudeReference.WGS84)
# Add first point
waypoint = route.waypoints.add()
waypoint.latitude = 56.18
waypoint.longitude = 40.91
waypoint.altitude = 0  # km
waypoint.speed = 0.026  # km/sec
# Add second point
waypoint2 = route.waypoints.add()
waypoint2.latitude = 50.22
waypoint2.longitude = 11.05
waypoint2.altitude = 0  # km
waypoint2.speed = 0.026  # km/sec
# Propagate the route
route.propagate()

Create a New Ground Vehicle (on the current scenario central body)

# Scenario scenario: Scenario object
grndVehicle = scenario.children.new(STKObjectType.GROUND_VEHICLE, "MyVehicle")
grndVehicle.set_route_type(PropagatorType.GREAT_ARC)
