PhaseIdealSolarSailOptions Object

The PhaseIdealSolarSailOptions object allows users to edit sail parameters such as Area and EfficiencyFactor for use with a TrajectoryPhase configured with an 'Ideal Sail' control type.

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.

Name	Description	Attributes
ApplyNormConstraint	Whether to constrain the norm of the cartesian control variable vector to be equal to 1. Warning: Setting this property to false (0) will often result in an ill-conditioned and/or non-physical problem unless the control variables are constrained directly by the user to have a cartesian norm equal to 1.	Type: Variable Access: Read/Write
ApplySunPointingConstraint	Whether to constrain the cartesian control variable vector to never point towards the sun. In other words, the dot product of the cartesian control variable vector and the position vector with respect to the sun will be constrained to be greater than or equal to 0. Warning: Setting this property to false (0) will often result in a non-physical problem unless the cartesian control variable vector is constrained directly by the user to never point towards the sun.	Type: Variable Access: Read/Write
Area	The sail area in square meters.	Type: Variable Access: Read/Write Units: m^2
DeclaredName	The name of the object as declared.	Type: String Access: Read-Only
DisplayName	The name displayed for this object in output windows such as views, plots, and reports.	Type: String Access: Read/Write
EfficiencyFactor	The reflective efficiency of the sail. This property directly scales the force produced by the sail.	Type: Variable Access: Read/Write
ObjectId	The unique identifier for the object.	Type: Variable Access: Read-Only
ObjectType	The type of the object.	Type: String Access: Read-Only

Name	Description
ClearSavedStates	Clears previous saved states for this object.
GetFromFile	Load the object state from the specified FreeFlyer object file.
GetFromString	Load the object state from the specified string.
PutToFile	Convert the object state to FreeFlyer object xml and write to a file.
PutToString	Convert the object state to FreeFlyer object xml and return as a string.
ReferenceEquals	Returns 1 if the argument refers to the calling object and 0 otherwise.
Restore	Restore an object's state from a previously saved state.
Save	Save the object's state so that it can be restored later.
