Description
The Tank object is a base type that provides center of gravity, moment of inertia, orientation, and reference point properties to the objects that derive from it. See the Maneuvering Guide for more information.
Users cannot create instances of this type of object. However, users can access instances of this object type that have been created indirectly, for example as children of other objects. Users can also access any static properties and methods on this object type.

TankCenterOfGravity
|
The center of gravity associated with the fuel mass in the tank. This location is determined based on the tank's reference location, fill line orientation, tank volume, fuel mass, and fuel density. The location is referenced from the origin of the Spacecraft BCS and is measured in meters.
|
TankOrientation
|
The unit vector in the Spacecraft body coordinate system that defines the primary axis (or z-axis) of the tank. The tank's fill line is oriented perpendicular to this axis. The tank's center of gravity is determined based on this fill line orientation, the tank reference location, tank volume, fuel mass, and fuel density.
|
TankReference
|
The geometric center of the SphericalTank. This location is referenced from the origin of the Spacecraft BCS. The tank's center of gravity is determined based on this reference location, the fill line orientation, tank volume, fuel mass, and fuel density.
