EngineIon#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.astrogator.EngineIon#

Bases: IComponentInfo, ICloneable

Ion Engine engine model.

Overview#

Methods

`enable_control_parameter`	Enable the specified control parameter.
`disable_control_parameter`	Disables the specified control parameter.
`is_control_parameter_enabled`	Sees if the specified control is enabled.

Properties

`g`	Get or set the gravitational acceleration constant at sea level on the Earth. Uses Acceleration Dimension.
`input_power_source_name`	Get or set the object that computes the power input to the engine.
`min_required_power`	Get or set the minimum power required for engine to produce thrust. Uses Power Dimension.
`max_input_power`	Get or set the maximum power that can be used by engine to produce thrust. Uses Power Dimension.
`percent_degradation_per_year`	Get or set the degradation factor is ((1-x%/yr)^(timeSinceRefEpoch)).
`reference_epoch`	Get or set the date and Time used as reference epoch for degradation. Uses DateFormat Dimension.
`percent_throttle`	Get or set the percentage of available thrust to use (100 is full on, 0 is off). Dimensionless.
`engine_definition`	Get the engine definition.
`control_parameters_available`	Return whether or not the control parameters can be set.
