Formation.SetRandomStates Method

Populates the Formation with states from a random Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix. The dimension and order of the covariance matrix is assumed to be consistent with the ProcessAction properties held in the first Spacecraft in the formation. The number of states generated is determined by the size of the provided Formation.

This page describes functionality in millisecond timing precision mode. Millisecond timing precision mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend that you migrate your Mission Plans to nanosecond timing precision mode.

Signatures	Return Value	Description
Formation.SetRandomStates(Array meanState, Matrix covariance)	None	Populates the Formation with states from a random Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix. The dimension and order of the covariance matrix is assumed to be consistent with the ProcessAction properties held in the first Spacecraft in the formation. The number of states generated is determined by the size of the provided Formation.
Formation.SetRandomStates(Array meanState, Matrix covariance, RandomNumberGenerator random)	None	Populates the Formation with states from a Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix. The dimension and order of the covariance matrix is assumed to be consistent with the Spacecrafts' ProcessAction settings.
Formation.SetRandomStates(Array meanState, Matrix covariance, String covarianceElementSet)	None	Populates the Formation with states from a random Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix. The dimension and order of the covariance matrix is assumed to be consistent with the ProcessAction properties held in the first Spacecraft in the formation. The number of states generated is determined by the size of the provided Formation.
Formation.SetRandomStates(Array meanState, Matrix covariance, String covarianceElementSet, RandomNumberGenerator random)	None	Populates the Formation with states from a Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix.
