Formation.SetRandomStates Method

Top 

Description

Populates the Formation with states from a random Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix. The dimension and order of the covariance matrix is assumed to be consistent with the ProcessAction properties held in the first Spacecraft in the formation. The number of states generated is determined by the size of the provided Formation.

 

Timing Precision Mode

This page describes functionality in millisecond timing precision mode. Millisecond timing precision mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend that you migrate your Mission Plans to nanosecond timing precision mode.

Description

Formation.SetRandomStates(Array meanState, Matrix covariance)

None

Populates the Formation with states from a random Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix. The dimension and order of the covariance matrix is assumed to be consistent with the ProcessAction properties held in the first Spacecraft in the formation. The number of states generated is determined by the size of the provided Formation.

Formation.SetRandomStates(Array meanState, Matrix covariance, RandomNumberGenerator random)

None

Populates the Formation with states from a Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix. The dimension and order of the covariance matrix is assumed to be consistent with the Spacecrafts' ProcessAction settings.

Formation.SetRandomStates(Array meanState, Matrix covariance, String covarianceElementSet)

None

Populates the Formation with states from a random Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix. The dimension and order of the covariance matrix is assumed to be consistent with the ProcessAction properties held in the first Spacecraft in the formation. The number of states generated is determined by the size of the provided Formation.

Formation.SetRandomStates(Array meanState, Matrix covariance, String covarianceElementSet, RandomNumberGenerator random)

None

Populates the Formation with states from a Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix. The dimension and order of the covariance matrix is assumed to be consistent with the Spacecrafts' ProcessAction settings.
