Adding Integrated CubeADCS or CubeProducts to a Scenario

CubeSpace CubeProducts are ideally added to a satellite model by using the New Gen2 CubeADCS Wizard. The wizard is accessed from the Model View, by first selecting the satellite's Components list, clicking the Create button and selecting New Gen2 CubeADCS Wizard from the drop-down menu. The steps in the wizard can then be followed to add an integrated ADCS solution, using the sensor and actuator selections made from the wizard's UI options.

It is also possible to add invididual CubeProducts as components in a satellite. The user must then configure the added CubeProduct to have to correct orientation and position within the satellite. In this case, it is also necessary to manually link the added sensors and actuators to the CubeComputer model object. The CubeComputer will expose dependency points for all possible sensors and actuators. A dependency link is created by selecting the dependency point, and clicking the Link button . The drop-down menu will display compatible model objects that may be linked.
