The Spacecraft Control Laboratory Experiment (SCOLE) is defined by element properties: material constants; mast, reflector, rigid links as beam elements; cable as bar element; and space shuttle as very stiff beam. Two boundary conditions are modeled: suspended (6 degrees of freedom for all joints except the top of the cable) and cantilevered cables (shuttle platform fixed in all degrees of freedom). Calculations include stiffness and mass matrices, initial stresses, static displacements and reactions, and eigensolutions.
