simIncludeGravBody

simIncludeGravBody.loadGravFromFile(fileName, spherHarm, maxDeg=2)[source]

Load the gravitational body spherical harmonics coefficients from a file.

Parameters
  • fileName (string) – The full path to the specified data file.

  • spherHarm – The spherical harmonics container of the gravity body.

  • maxDeg (integer) – maximum degree of spherical harmonics to load

Notes

This function is a convenience utility for loading in the spherical harmonics coefficients from a data file. The default harmonic degree is 2 unless specified. Note that this function calls the gravityEffector function loadGravFromFile().
