Vectors(VNC)

Reports the selected vector and its derivative in the object's VNC axes. The vector must be defined in the Vector Geometry Tool.

Available for these objects: Missile, Satellite

Type: Time-varying data.

Availability: Reports | Graphs | Dynamic Displays | Strip Charts

Data Provider Groups

Any Vector component owned by the object is available for use, including user defined ones. Use the Analysis Workbench listing or the Report Manager->Report Content Properties tool to determine the actual set of components that can be used for a specific object.

zDimensionOfVectorReal NumberThird component of the selected vector, expressed in VNC axes. Defines projection of the vector onto the z-axis of the VNC axes.
MagnitudeDimensionOfVectorReal NumberMagnitude of the selected vector.
x/MagnitudeUnitlessReal NumberFirst component of the unit vector along the direction of the selected vector, expressed in VNC axes. Defines projection of the unit vector onto the x-axis of the VNC axes.
y/MagnitudeUnitlessReal NumberSecond component of the unit vector along the direction of the selected vector, expressed in VNC axes. Defines projection of the unit vector onto the y-axis of the VNC axes.
z/MagnitudeUnitlessReal NumberThird component of the unit vector along the direction of the selected vector, expressed in VNC axes. Defines projection of the unit vector onto the z-axis of the VNC axes.
RightAscensionLongitudeReal Number or TextRight ascension of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between the x-axis of the VNC axes and projection of the selected vector onto the xy-plane of the VNC axes. The angle is measured counterclockwise about the z-axis of the VNC axes.
DeclinationLatitudeReal Number or TextDeclination of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between the direction of the selected vector its projection onto the xy-plane of the VNC axes. The angle is positive when the dot product of the selected vector with the positive z-axis of the VNC axes is positive.
Co-DeclinationAngleReal Number or TextCo-Declination of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between the selected vector and z-axis of the VNC axes.
NegativeDeclinationAngleReal Number or TextNegative declination of the selected vector, i.e., the angle between direction of the selected vector its projection onto the xy-plane of the VNC axes. The angle is positive when the dot product of the selected vector with the negative z-axis of the VNC axes is positive.
DirectionAngle xAngleReal Number or TextAngle between the selected vector and the x-axis of the VNC axes.
DirectionAngle yAngleReal Number or TextAngle between the selected vector and the y-axis of the VNC axes.
DirectionAngle zAngleReal Number or TextAngle between the selected vector and the z-axis of the VNC axes.
Derivative xRateDimensionOfVectorReal NumberFirst component of the derivative vector, defined as the time rate of change of the selected vector in the VNC axes. Defines projection of the derivative vector onto the x-axis of the VNC axes.
Derivative yRateDimensionOfVectorReal NumberSecond component of the derivative vector, defined as the time rate of change of the selected vector in the VNC axes. Defines projection of the derivative vector onto the y-axis of the VNC axes.
