Version History

11.0 - 12

Updated to support STK 12.7

The STK Plugin for ModelCenter can only be run with an STK using the same or older version of the Ansys License Manager. Therefore:

11.0

Updated to support STK 11.0.

10.1

Updated to support STK 10.1.

10.0.1

In this release we brought the STK ModelCenter Plugin up to sync with the revamped STK Analyzer 10.0 interface.

3.1

• Updated units for date variables to match scenario preference units
• Added Attitude properties to multiple vehicle objects
• Added support for Engine and Attitude plugin parameters for Astrogator
• Improved performance of Astrogator trade studies

3.0.1

• Updated Mission Modeler altitude units to be in feet
• Added a Central Body and Coordinate System variables to satellite propagators

3.0

• Added the Missile object type
• Added Radar parameters
• Added support for Mission Modeler Aircraft propagators
• Added Coverage Definition "active" asset values
• Removed support for defaults files. All values can now be retrieved from STK. STK 7.0 is now required.
• Added initial support for Data Provider objects instead of using Reports for querying data from STK

2.0.1

• Added satellite state parameters for Launch, Initial State, and Update segments 

2.0

• Changed the communication protocol with STK to use COM instead of sockets. The plugin will now start up STK when the component is loaded and operates like many of the other plugins.
• Changed constraint handling to only show active constraints in the Component Tree. Negative values are also now permitted for constraint values.
• Added EngineModel parameters for maneuvers
• Added additional Finite Maneuver variables: ThrusterEfficiency and BurnCenterBias
• Created variables for Stopping Conditions for all segment types. Previously only worked for propagator segments
• Changed the STK start-up mode to start a local copy of STK rather than trying to connect to an existing open session
• Added the Access-Gaps report
• Updated the Access reports to succeed even if one of the individual reports (Access, AER, Link Budget, and Gaps) fails.
• Added the Deck Access report
• Added the Coverage report
• Updated icons to match the STK viewer
• Added GreatArc propagators for Vehicles
• Improved the STK import process so that if failures occur, they only impact the object being imported, not the whole scenario
• Added re-sync buttons
• Added upper and lower limits to several Monte Carlo distribution types
• Expanded the tree view to include values and units by default
• Updated Analyzer to remember values between sessions (e.g. to and from objects)
• Added support for updated Maneuver segment types in Astrogator
• Enabled support for dragging of groups into fields (e.g. drag a Figure of Merit object to get the min, max, and ave variables in one drop)
• Added units to plots

1.2

• Added the "Access" report type
• Added support for the "SetExportHeaders" option available in STK 6.1.2 so that reports work properly even if headers have been turned off in the STK GUI.
• Added median and mode values to the Standard report.

1.1

• Added support for STK 6.1. This eliminates the need for the defaults file.
• Added the "Standard" report type. Allows easy handling of many reports in STK. 
• Removed the "doReport" flags from reports. All reports are now automatically run. Also reorganized variable grouping for reports so that you do not have to select an object for each report, e.g. a coverage definition. The result is that reports are run for all objects in the scenario instead of just one at a time.
• Added a "sensorConstellation" item to the Walker group to enable automatic addition of sensors in Walker configurations to constellations.
• Fixed a bug with the Walker command that was causing the "walkerParam" to be improperly interpreted.
• Added support for constraints for all objects.
• Added support for direct representation of Astrogator variables in the ModelCenter Component Tree.
