CAD Model

The spacecraft CAD model is a useful tool for visualizing attitude dynamics throughout Sedaro Satellite. This CAD model allows you to verify the orientation of spacecraft Body Frame Vectors. This CAD model will also appear in 3D playback animations - allowing you to easily verify that simulated attitude dynamics are consistent with the intended behavior.

Select a default CAD model or upload your own CAD model in GL Transmission Format (glTF) or the binary equivalent (GLB) via the drag-n-drop/browser interface in the "CAD Model" panel of the Spacecraft Dialog.

Note: It is important to ensure that the the principal axes in your CAD model are consistent with your spacecraft body-frame. This will ensure that spacecraft geometry parameters and attitude simulation results are consistent with your definition of the body-frame.
