Description

Properties for a Third Body propagator function. The IAgComponentInfo object returned by the mode property can be cast to IAgVAGravityFieldFunction or IAgVAPointMassFunction depending on the selected ModeType.

Public Methods

SetModeType

Set the third body gravity mode.

Public Properties

EphemerisSourceWarning	Returns a warning message if the Ephemeris source and the gravity are not compatible.
EphemSource	Source for the third body's ephemeris.
Mode	Get the third body gravity mode. The IAgComponentInfo object returned by this property can be cast to IAgVAGravityFieldFunction or IAgVAPointMassFunction depending on the selected ModeType.
ModeType	Get the third body gravity mode type.
ThirdBodyName	Gets or sets the selected third body model.

Example

Set user defined Mu value on third body

[C#]

IAgComponentInfoCollection compInfoCol = scenario.ComponentDirectory.GetComponents(AgEComponent.eComponentAstrogator);
IAgComponentInfoCollection thirdBodyFolder = compInfoCol.GetFolder("Propagator Functions").GetFolder("Third Bodies");
IAgVAThirdBodyFunction newMoon = thirdBodyFolder.DuplicateComponent("Moon", "NewMoon") as IAgVAThirdBodyFunction;
newMoon.SetModeType(AgEVAThirdBodyMode.eVAThirdBodyModePointMass);
IAgVAPointMassFunction pointMass = newMoon.Mode as IAgVAPointMassFunction;
pointMass.GravSource = AgEVAGravParamSource.eVAGravParamSourceUser;
pointMass.Mu = 390000.0;

Set user defined Mu value on third body from propagators

[C#]

IAgComponentInfoCollection compInfoCol = scenario.ComponentDirectory.GetComponents(AgEComponent.eComponentAstrogator);
IAgComponentInfoCollection propagatorFolder = compInfoCol.GetFolder("Propagators");
IAgVANumericalPropagatorWrapper myEathHPOP = propagatorFolder.DuplicateComponent("Earth HPOP Default v10", "myEathHPOP") as IAgVANumericalPropagatorWrapper;
IAgVAThirdBodyFunction moon = myEathHPOP.PropagatorFunctions["Moon"] as IAgVAThirdBodyFunction;
moon.SetModeType(AgEVAThirdBodyMode.eVAThirdBodyModePointMass);
IAgVAPointMassFunction pointMass = moon.Mode as IAgVAPointMassFunction;
pointMass.GravSource = AgEVAGravParamSource.eVAGravParamSourceUser;
pointMass.Mu = 390000.0;

Set user defined Mu value on third body

Dim pointMass As IAgVAPointMassFunction = TryCast(newMoon.Mode, IAgVAPointMassFunction)
pointMass.GravSource = AgEVAGravParamSource.eVAGravParamSourceUser
pointMass.Mu = 390000
