Architecture
The 6-DOF Simulator is composed of elements which model a typical spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control (ADAC) System. The SMAD[1] Section 19, provides the best example of such a system and the 6-DOF Simulator models it.
The Figure shows the SMAD ADAC system interpreted as a simulation architecture directed towards execution under GMAT. For instance, since GMAT does not have sensor or actuator hardware, models of sensors and actuators will have to be developed.
