C#: Getting Started

Editor CSharp is a C# Visual Studio solution file that includes the reference libraries to the Nominal simulation architecture. It is provided alongside Nominal Editor and provides a solution for creating custom components, messages and spacecraft in a traditional programming format. Components can be coded in C# and use the simulation library and functions accessible in the C# infrastructure. When complete, the solution can be built and those custom components can be added to the Nominal Editor visualization.
