Attributes
|
AllowErrorViolation
|
Determines whether the error tolerance may be violated once the minimum step size is reached. If this property is set to true, and the integrator step error does not meet the tolerance at 1 ms step size, the state is automatically advanced 1 ms ahead and a warning is generated.
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read/Write
|
CalculateSTM
|
Flag indicating whether or not to calculate the state transition matrix at each integration step as part of the state integration. If the PropagateCovariance flag is set to true on the SpacecraftODProperties object or if the Spacecraft is in an estimation process, the STM is always calculated. If the Spacecraft.Propagator is not an Integrator type then this property is ignored.

Type: Variable
Access: Read/Write
|
DeclaredName
|
The name of the object as declared.
|
Type: String
Access: Read-Only
|
DisplayName
|
The name displayed for this object in output windows such as views, plots, and reports.
|
Type: String
Access: Read/Write
|
FixedStep
|
Flag denoting whether the propagator is being run in fixed-step mode (i.e. constant StepSize) or in variable-step mode (i.e. variable StepSize).
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read/Write
|
ForceModel
|
A force model.
|
Type: ForceModel
Access: Read-Only
|
LargeCurvature
|
Flag that signifies whether the integration has failed due to a large curvature in the force field. (1 = Integration Failed, 0 = Integration Nominal, -1 = No Integration has been performed).
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read-Only
|
MaxTries
|
The maximum number of times to attempt to change the step size in the integration process in order to meet the specified error tolerance. If the specified error tolerance is not met after MaxTries attempts, an error is thrown.
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read/Write
|
ObjectId
|
The unique identifier for the object.
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read-Only
|
ObjectType
|
The type of the object.
|
Type: String
Access: Read-Only
|
RelativeErrorThreshold
|
If the absolute error is less than this value, then the absolute error is compared against the tolerance. Otherwise the relative error is compared against the tolerance.
Set a very large value (e.g. 1e100) to ensure the RK78.Tolerance is treated as an absolute error tolerance. Set a very small value (e.g. 1e-100) to ensure that the RK78.Tolerance is treated as a relative error tolerance.

Type: Variable
Access: Read/Write
|
StepJustTaken
|
The size of the previous step taken by the integration process.
|
Type: TimeSpan
Access: Read-Only
Units: s
|
StepsAttempted
|
This represents the sum of the successful and failed steps. This property will closely reflect the performance of the integrator since it is a measure of the total number of steps executed by the integrator.
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read-Only
|
StepsFailed
|
This property is incremented once each time the integrator steps the spacecraft forward and the integrator tolerance is not met. A high ratio of the number of failed to successful steps may suggest that the integrator tolerance is too high.
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read-Only
|
StepSize
|
The number of seconds the propagated object is advanced when the Step command is executed.
|
Type: TimeSpan
Access: Read/Write
Units: s
|
StepsRequested
|
Represents the count of integration steps requested by the user. This property will be incremented once each time the FreeFlyer engine advances the spacecraft to a desired epoch. For the Step command, this property will be incremented once. For interval methods and Step-to commands, this property will be incremented each time bisection is performed unitl the condition is met. Abnormally high values on this property can indicate that the IntervalStopAccuracy may be too strict.
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read-Only
|
StepsSuccessful
|
This property is incremented for every successful step of the integrator. Since it may take several steps to reach the desired epoch at the specified tolerance, the number of successful steps may be greater than the number of requested steps.
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read-Only
|
StepToTake
|
The maximum possible size of the next step to take in the integration process based on the relative error tolerance. When the StepSize property is set, this property is initialized with the new StepSize value and is updated after the next step is taken.
|
Type: TimeSpan
Access: Read-Only
Units: s
|
STM
|
Returns the State Transition Matrix. The matrix is always a square where the length of each side is determined by the total number of properties being estimated or considered.
|
Type: Matrix
Access: Read-Only
|
STMCalculationMethod
|
A flag indicating the method to be used to calculate the state transition matrix. Note that even if the CalculateSTM property is set to false, this property still applies if the SpacecraftODProperties.PropagateCovariance flag is to true or if the Spacecraft is included in an estimation process.
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read/Write
|
Tolerance
|
When the Step command is executed, intermediate integration steps are taken to ensure that the local error never exceeds this value.
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read/Write
|
ToleranceMode
|
Determines how the relative error tolerance is calculated.
