Plots

To be able to interpret the results after building a TLE (or several ones), it is possible to use the “Plots” panel.

By default, no results are displayed …

Load a file

So, you will have to push on the button in order to select a result file.

The names of the files shall start by “GTM_DIF” and get the “.txt” suffix.

Kind of plots

Four kind of plots are available giving the differences between the simulated trajectory and the one obtained using the created TLE all along the simulation:

• difference on the semi-major axis (in meters).
• difference on the eccentricity.
• difference on the inclination (in degrees).
• difference on the longitude as the sum of the perigee argument, the RAAN and the true anomaly (in degrees).

On each plot:

• a subtitle will indicate the amount of points used to fit the TLE(s) (see TLE computations options)
• the minimum, maximum and mean values will be respectively plotted with green, red and blue lines.
