i use this program for work sometimes, and have been using it since 2017. stability is poor and usability is worse and not getting any better. the visualization capabilities are mostly useless to me as a trajectory analyst. you can visualize constellations and their names (nerds), you can supposedly connect a VR headset (nerds), but you cannot visualize the thrust vector, which is something that would be actually useful. the xy plotting capability is prohibitively slow. i typically will run GMAT headless and then use an external tool for plotting and 3d visualization, but that is far from an ideal situation. i'm sure the people that make GMAT are nice but damb.Reply from GMATEdited 2022-12-10
Hi Peter! I'm Ravi, the creator of GMAT's new OpenFramesInterface (OFI) visualization plugin, and I'm sorry you have had such a negative experience. Your thrust vector idea is a great one that has been requested before so I'll get on it. BTW, Copernicus is another trajectory design tool that you must be familiar with at JSC. It uses the same underlying viz library as GMAT's OFI and does show thrust vectors, so that won't be hard to add to the OFI. Feel free to submit bug or feature requests at https://gmat.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/GMT/issues/ . The GMAT team would love to hear ideas from a trajectory analyst like yourself, especially since we all work on related projects/missions and all run in the same proudly-nerdy circles!
