Method Detail

buildPropagator

Propagator buildPropagator(double[] normalizedParameters)
                    throws OrekitException

Build a propagator.

Parameters:

normalizedParameters - normalized values for the selected parameters

Returns:

an initialized propagator

Throws:

OrekitException - if propagator cannot be build

getSelectedNormalizedParameters

double[] getSelectedNormalizedParameters()

Get the current value of selected normalized parameters.

Returns:

current value of selected normalized parameters

getOrbitType

OrbitType getOrbitType()

Get the orbit type expected for the 6 first parameters in buildPropagator(double[]).

Returns:

orbit type to use in buildPropagator(double[])

Since:
