Functions

from_thrust(use_all_thrust_models, …)	Creates the settings for a mass rate model defined from a thrust model.
custom(mass_rate_function, float])	Creates the settings for a mass rate model defined from a thrust model.

from_thrust(use_all_thrust_models: bool = 1, associated_thrust_source: str = '') → tudatpy.kernel.simulation.propagation_setup.mass_rate.MassRateModelSettings

Creates the settings for a mass rate model defined from a thrust model.

Creates the settings for a mass rate model defined from a thrust model. The mass rate model is derived from the associated body’s engine model. It is possible to consider only a specific engine or all engines.

Parameters

• use_all_thrust_models (bool, default=true) – Denotes whether all engines of the associated body are to be combined into a single thrust model.

• associated_thrust_source (str, default="") – Name of engine model from which thrust is to be derived (must be empty if the first argument is set to true).

Returns

From thrust mass rate settings object.

Return type

FromThrustMassRateSettings

custom(mass_rate_function: Callable[[float], float]) → tudatpy.kernel.simulation.propagation_setup.mass_rate.MassRateModelSettings

Creates the settings for a mass rate model defined from a thrust model.

Creates the settings for a custom mass rate model defined through a mass rate function. The function must have time as an independent variable.

Parameters

mass_rate_function (Callable[[float], float]) – Function of time defining the custom mass rate.

Returns

Custom mass rate settings object.

Return type

CustomMassRateSettings
