Define a vehicle (any type) using an external file
Syntax
SetPropagator <ObjectPath> File {Propagator} "<FilePath>" [{NoProp | {TimeInterval}}]
Description
The SetPropagator command loads an element set and path definition from the specified external propagator file. You can specify a vehicle definition and insert that into the vehicle path. Propagator files must end with a .pg extension.
{Propagator} can be TwoBody, J2Perturbation, J4Perturbation, SimpleAscent, Ballistic, GreatArc, HPOP, STKExternal, LOP, SPICE, RealTime, Astrogator, SGP4, or any other propagator that is installed for use with STK, indicated by name.
The vehicle will be propagated using the times in the specified external propagator file, unless one of the following is entered.
If NoProp is entered then the vehicle won't be propagated.
If {TimeInterval} is entered then the time interval will be used to propagate the vehicle. For valid {TimeInterval} values see Time Options.
"<FilePath>" can be the path to a file on your local drive or the path to a file on an SDF server. See Specifying Paths for "<SDFFilePath>" syntax information.
{Propagator} names are case sensitive.
For more information about formatting an external propagator file, and examples, see the STK Help topic on Custom File Formats - Great Arc if {Propagator} is GreatArc; or Custom File Formats - Propagator for all other values of {Propagator}.
