PhaseSimpleThrusterOptions.ShadowConstraintBufferFactor Property

Top

Description

If a buffer region is desired when turning the thruster off before shadow/turning the thruster on after shadow, assign this property a value larger than 1. Larger values will create a larger buffer region. This value is used to scale the spherical body radius of potential shadowing bodies when computing shadow conditions. For instance, if this property is set to 2, the shadow constraint will see the radius of potiential shadowing bodies as being double their actual size.

Note: in order to apply a shadow constraint, add at least one shadowing body via the ControlModel.AddShadowingBody method.

Timing Precision Mode

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.
