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 …

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.

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.
