Points Choose Plane

Reports projection of the selected point and its velocity on a specified reference plane. Both point and plane must be defined in the Vector Geometry Tool.

Available for these objects: Access, Aircraft, Antenna, AreaTarget, Facility, GroundVehicle, LaunchVehicle, LineTarget, Missile, Place, Planet, Radar, Receiver, Satellite, SatelliteCollection, Scenario, Sensor, Ship, Target, Transmitter

Type: Time-varying data.

Availability: Reports | Graphs | Dynamic Displays | Strip Charts

Pre-data required: "<TruncObjectPath> <PlaneName>" - e.g "CentralBody/Earth Equator"

NameDimensionTypeDescription
TimeDateReal Number or TextTime.
1-Axis ComponentDistanceReal NumberComponent along the first axis of the reference plane of the displacement vector that locates projection of the selected point onto the reference plane.
2-Axis ComponentDistanceReal NumberComponent along the second axis of the reference plane of the displacement vector that locates projection of the selected point onto the reference plane.
DistanceDistanceReal NumberDistance between the center of the reference plane and the projection of the selected point onto the reference plane.
Direction AngleAngleReal Number or TextAngle between the first axis of the reference plane and the displacement vector that locates projection of the selected point onto the reference plane. The angle is measured counterclockwise about the plane's normal.
Velocity 1-Axis ComponentRateReal NumberTime rate of change of the component along the first axis of the reference plane of the displacement vector that locates projection of the selected point onto the reference plane.
Velocity 2-Axis ComponentRateReal NumberTime rate of change of the component along the second axis of the reference plane of the displacement vector that locates projection of the selected point onto the reference plane.
SpeedRateReal NumberMagnitude of the velocity vector of the projection of the selected point onto the reference plane.
Heading AngleAngleReal Number or TextAngle between the first axis of the reference plane and the velocity vector of the projection of the selected point onto the reference plane. The angle is measured counterclockwise about the plane's normal.
