Create a CAD model of the ISS

Loads data from ISS2.obj, this takes some time. Saves the model it in a mat file, ISS.mat. The data from an obj file is not the complete data structure so we add the core body, etc in this script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- See also BuildCADModel, CreateBody, SaveStructure, ShowCAD -------------------------------------------------------------------------

% Load in from an obj file
d = LoadCAD('ISS2.obj');

% Create the CAD model for ISS
BuildCADModel( 'initialize' );
BuildCADModel( 'set mass',	struct('mass',2000,'inertia',2000*eye(3),'cM',[0;0;0]) );
BuildCADModel( 'set name' ,	'ISS' );
BuildCADModel( 'set units',	'mks'     );

m = CreateBody( 'make', 'name', 'Core' );
BuildCADModel('add body', m );

% This creates the connections between the bodies
BuildCADModel( 'compute paths' );

% Add in the components
for k = 1:length(d.component)
  d.component(k).inside = 0;
  d.component(k).rA = d.component(k).rA - [0;24.5;18];
  BuildCADModel( 'add component', d.component(k) );
end

g  = BuildCADModel('get model');

SaveStructure( g, 'ISS' );
ShowCAD( g );
