gimbal
Description
gimbal(
adds a default parent
)Gimbal
object to each
parent in the parent
vector, which can be a satellite, a platform, or a
ground station. A gimbal can be added to satellites, platform, and ground stations, and
dynamically change orientation independent of the parent. Transmitters, receivers, and
conical sensors can be mounted on the gimbals.
gimbal(
adds gimbals to parents in parent
,Name=Value
)parent
using additional parameters specified
by optional name-value pairs.
gim
= gimbal(___)
returns the
added gimbals in the row vector gim
.

Input Arguments
parent
— Element of scenario to which you add gimbal
scalar | vector
Element of scenario to which you add the gimbal, specified as a scalar or vector of satellites, platforms, or ground stations. The number of gimbals specified is determined by the size of the inputs.
If
parent
is a scalar, all gimbals are added to the parent.If
parent
is a vector and the number of gimbals specified is one, that gimbal is added to each parent.If
parent
is a vector and the number of gimbals specified is more than one, the number of gimbals must equal the number ofparent
s and eachparent
gets one gimbal.
Name-Value Arguments
Specify optional pairs of arguments as
Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN
, where Name
is
the argument name and Value
is the corresponding value.
Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the
pairs does not matter.
Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose
Name
in quotes.
Example: 'MountingAngle'=[20;35;10]
sets the yaw, pitch, and roll
angles of the gimbal to 20, 35, and 10 degrees, respectively.
Note
The size of the name-value arguments defines the number of gimbals that you can specify. To understand how to specify multiple gimbals, refer to these properties.
Name
— Gimbal name
"Gimbal idx"
(default) | string scalar | string vector | character vector | cell array of character vectors
You can set this property only when calling the gimbal
function. After you call the gimbal
function, this property is
read-only.
Gimbal name, specified as a name-value argument consisting of
'Name'
and a string scalar, string vector, character vector, or
a cell array of character vectors.
If you are adding only one gimbal, specify
Name
as a string scalar or a character vector.If you are adding multiple gimbals, specify
Name
as a string scalar, character vector, string vector, or a cell array of character vectors. All gimbals that you add as a string scalar or a character vector are assigned the same specified name. The number of elements in the string vector or cell array of character vectors must equal the number of gimbals that you are adding. Each gimbal is assigned the corresponding name from the vector or cell array.
In the default value, idx is the ID assigned by the satellite scenario.
Data Types: char
| string
MountingLocation
— Mounting location with respect to parent
[0; 0; 0]
(default) | three-element vector | matrix
Mounting location with respect to the parent object in meters, specified as a three-element vector or a matrix. The position vector is specified in the body frame of the input parent
.
If you are adding one gimbal,
MountingLocation
is a three-element vector. The elements specify the x, y, and z components of the Cartesian coordinates in the body frame of gimbal.If you are adding multiple gimbals,
MountingLocation
can be a three-element vector or a matrix. When specified as a vector, the same set of mounting locations are assigned to all specified gimbals. When specified as a matrix,MountingLocation
must contain three rows and the same number of columns as the gimbals. The columns correspond to the mounting location of each specified gimbal and the rows correspond to the mounting location coordinates in the parent body frame.
When the AutoSimulate
property of the satellite scenario is
false
, you can modify the MountingLocation
property only when SimulationStatus
is NotStarted
. You can use the
restart
function to
reset SimulationStatus
to NotStarted
, but doing
so erases the simulation data.
Data Types: double
MountingAngles
— Mounting orientation with respect to parent object
[0; 0; 0]
(default) | three-element row vector of positive numbers | matrix
Mounting orientation with respect to parent object in degrees, specified as a three-element row vector of positive numbers. The elements of the vector correspond to yaw, pitch, and roll, in that order. Yaw, pitch, and roll are positive rotations about the z-axis, intermediate y-axis, and intermediate x-axis of the parent.
If you are adding one gimbal, the
MountingAngles
property is a three-element vector.If you are adding multiple gimbals the
MountingAngles
property can be a three-element vector or a matrix. When specified as a vector, the same set of mounting angles are assigned to all specified gimbals. When specified as a matrix,MountingAngles
must contain three rows and the same number of columns as the gimbals. The columns correspond to the mounting angles of each specified gimbal and the rows correspond to the yaw, pitch, and roll angles in the parent body frame.
When the AutoSimulate
property of the satellite scenario is
false
, you can modify the MountingAngles
property only when SimulationStatus
is NotStarted
. You can use the
restart
function to
reset SimulationStatus
to NotStarted
, but doing
so erases the simulation data.
Example: [0; 30; 60]
Data Types: double
Output Arguments
gim
— Gimbal
scalar | vector
Gimbal object attached to parent
, returned as either a scalar
or a vector.
When the AutoSimulate
property of the satellite scenario is
false
, you can call the gimbal
function
only when SimulationStatus
is NotStarted
. You can use the
restart
function to
reset SimulationStatus
to NotStarted
, but doing so erases the
simulation data.
