Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyDragCoefficient
Gets or sets the dimensionless drag coefficient of this plate.
(Inherited from DragPlate.)
Public propertyGroupName
Gets or sets the name of the group of plates that contains this plate. (E.g. Body or SolarPanels.)
(Inherited from IndividualPlateModel.)
Public propertyIsFrozen
Gets a value indicating whether this object is frozen. A frozen object cannot be modified and an ObjectFrozenException will be thrown if an attempt is made to do so.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public propertyPlateName
Gets or sets the name of the individual plate.
(Inherited from IndividualPlateModel.)
Public propertyReferenceArea
Gets or sets the surface area of this plate in meters squared.
(Inherited from IndividualPlateModel.)
Public propertyUnitAxisCartesian
Gets or sets a parameter that specifies the axis of rotation of this solar panel in body-fixed coordinates.

Methods
  NameDescription
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Inherited from IndividualPlateModel.)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(DragOneDofSolarPanelPlate)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(DragPlate)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Overrides DragPlateCheckForSameDefinition(DragPlate).)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(IndividualPlateModel)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Inherited from DragPlate.)
Public methodClone
Clones this object using the specified context.
(Overrides DefinitionalObjectClone(CopyContext).)
Protected methodComputeCurrentDefinitionHashCode
Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the CheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject) method.
(Overrides DragPlateComputeCurrentDefinitionHashCode.)
Public methodEnumerateDependencies
Enumerates the dependencies of this object by calling EnumerateT(T) for each object that this object directly depends upon. Derived classes which contain additional dependencies MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and enumerate dependencies introduced by the derived class.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodFinalize
Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodFreeze
Freezes this object. Further attempts to modify it will result in an ObjectFrozenException.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Protected methodFreezeAggregatedObjects
Called by Freeze to also freeze any objects that are considered to be a part of this object. Derived classes which contain additional aggregated objects MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and freeze aggregated objects introduced by the derived class. The objects that need to be frozen in this method are frequently created in this object's constructor and are not settable via properties.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public methodGetDefinitionHashCode
Gets a hash code representing the definition of this object.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetSwitchingScalar

Gets a scalar that is used to determine whether this plate is facing a direction within 90 degrees of the incident atmosphere direction at a given time.

DragBodyPlates do not produce drag when they are not facing the incoming atmosphere. The two types of drag solar panel plates produce drag on their back faces when their front faces are facing away from the incoming atmosphere.

(Overrides DragPlateGetSwitchingScalar(Axes, Vector, Vector).)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetUnitNormalVector
Gets the unit normal vector of the plate that describes its pointing and is used to determine how much of the plate's ReferenceArea is directed toward the Sun (for SolarRadiationPlates) or toward the incoming atmosphere (for DragPlates).
(Overrides IndividualPlateModelGetUnitNormalVector(Axes, Vector).)
Public methodIsSameDefinition
Determines if this object has the same definition as another object.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodThrowIfFrozen
Throws ObjectFrozenException if this object IsFrozen. This method should be called from any method or property that modifies this object.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public methodToString
Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
