Class ThrusterArray

Namespace

NominalSystems.Classes

Assembly

NominalSystems.Classes.dll

[Nominal] The thruster array is a collection of thrusters that can be used to control the spacecraft. It has a collective configuration message that is able to determine the overall thrust of the system. The Thrusters are not required to have a thruster array, but if multiple thrusters are present, it is recommended to have a thruster array to control them.

Constructors

ThrusterArray()

Default constructor

protected ThrusterArray()

Fields

In_ThrusterArrayOnTimeMsg

Input message defining the array on input commands for thrusters

public ThrusterArrayOnTimeMessage? In_ThrusterArrayOnTimeMsg

Field Value

ThrusterArrayOnTimeMessage

Out_ThrusterArrayConfigMsg

Array defining the configuration of thrusters attached to this array

public ThrusterArrayConfigMessage? Out_ThrusterArrayConfigMsg

Field Value

ThrusterArrayConfigMessage

Properties

this[int]

Overrides the index operator which will attempt to get the thruster child.

public Thruster? this[int key] { get; }

Parameters

key int

The index to get

Property Value

Thruster

A thruster reference

NumThrusters

The number of thrusters added to the current thruster array, which is stored in the configuration message.

[Unit(UnitType.NONE)]

[Metadata(ContainedIn = "Out_ThrusterArrayConfigMsg")]
public int NumThrusters { get; }

Property Value

int

Methods

GetThruster(int)

Returns a reference to a thruster in a particular index, provided that the thruster exists.

public Thruster? GetThruster(int index)

Parameters

index int

The index to fetch

Returns

Thruster

A thruster, if it exists

OnBegin(double)

Called when the object is beginning ticking for the first time. This is when the simulation calls the very first tick and will run before the update call.

protected override void OnBegin(double time)

Parameters

time double

[s] Current time of the simulation before the tick

OnChildAttached(UniverseObject)

This event is called when a child has been attached to this object. This will pass in the reference to the child object that was added.

protected override void OnChildAttached(UniverseObject child)

Parameters

child UniverseObject

The child object that was added

OnChildDetached(UniverseObject)

This event is called when a child has been detached from this object. This will pass in the child object that was removed.

protected override void OnChildDetached(UniverseObject child)

Parameters

child UniverseObject

The child object that was detached

OnCreate()

Called when the 'Component' is created from the controller.

protected override void OnCreate()

OnLoad(double)

Called after all of the data has been loaded from a save state on this object. This enables any post-load operations to be performed and extra data to be loaded from the metadata.

protected override void OnLoad(double time)

Parameters

time double

[s] The current clock time of the simulation

OnUpdate(double, double)

Called when the object should update from the simulation tick. This will take in a time and a step, where the time is the time of the clock before updating the object.

protected override void OnUpdate(double time, double step)

Parameters

time double

[s] Current time of the simulation before the update

step double

[s] The time-step to update during this tick
