VehicleIntegratedAttitude

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.VehicleIntegratedAttitude

Integrated Attitude generates an external attitude file for a satellite by numerically integrating Euler’s equations for the current satellite.

Overview

Methods

initialize_from_attitude	Initialize the parameters using a satellite’s attitude.
save_to_file	Generate an external attitude file for a satellite by numerically integrating Euler’s equations for the current satellite and save results to the specified file.

Properties

start_time	Start time for the attitude file. Uses DateFormat Dimension.
stop_time	Stop time for the attitude file. Uses DateFormat Dimension.
epoch	Epoch of the attitude file. Uses DateFormat Dimension.
orientation	Get the initial orientation of the satellite in the Earth Inertial (ECI) frame.
wx	Body fixed wx rate: initial angular velocity rate about the satellite’s X axis. Uses AngleRate Dimension.
wy	Body fixed wy rate: initial angular velocity rate about the satellite’s Y axis. Uses AngleRate Dimension.
wz	Body fixed wz rate: initial angular velocity rate about the satellite’s Z axis. Uses AngleRate Dimension.
torque	Get the external torque data.
