Vector.IntersectionTimes(ProximityZone) Method

Top

Description

This method provides a sequential listing of events related to the intersection of the calling Vector and proximityZoneToIntersect, where one object moves to at least partially intersect another object. The start times, end times, and duration of the intersection are returned. FreeFlyer uses a definitive analytical solution to evaluate this method.

Method Signature

Vector.IntersectionTimes(

ProximityZone proximityZoneToIntersect)

Arguments

proximityZoneToIntersect
Description:	The ProximityZone used to determine intersection with the calling Vector.

Return Value

Type:

string

Returns a sequential listing of events related to the intersection of two objects.

The FF_Preferences.IntervalEventReportingBehavior property controls whether the start and end of propagation are reported as events. By default, if the intersection starts before the beginning of the propagation span, FreeFlyer will label the start of the propagation as the start of the intersection. If the intersection extends past the end of the propagation span, FreeFlyer labels the end of propagation as the end of the intersection.

Syntax

myString1 = myVector1.IntersectionTimes(myProximityZone1);
