Initialize

%------------
BuildCADModel( 'initialize' );

% Add spacecraft properties
%---------------------------
BuildCADModel( 'set name' , 'Simple Spacecraft' );
BuildCADModel( 'set units', 'mks'  );

% Create bodies first
%---------------------
m = CreateBody( 'make', 'name', 'Core' );
BuildCADModel('add body', m );

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

Add Components

%----------------

% Core
%------
m = CreateComponent( 'make', 'box', 'name', 'Panels', 'x', 1, 'y', 1, 'z', 1,...
                     'faceColor', 'gold foil','inside',0,...
                     'rA', [0;0;0], 'mass', 20, 'body', 1 );
BuildCADModel( 'add component', m );

% Star Camera
%-------------
m          = CreateComponent( 'make', 'star camera', 'model', 'ct633', 'name', 'Camera',...
                              'rA', [0.4;0.4;0.4], 'body', 1, 'boresight',[1;0;0], ...
                              'faceColor', 'aluminum', 'inside', 0 );
BuildCADModel( 'add component', m );

Save the model

%----------------
g = BuildCADModel( 'get cad model' );
BuildCADModel( 'show spacecraft' );
d = FindDirectory('SCModels');
SaveStructure( g, fullfile(d,'SimpleSat') )
