Usage

export_bodies(system, path)

Arguments

system

An `orbit_system` object.

path

File path to save to. Should end in `.csv`.

Value

`system`, invisibly.

Examples

# \donttest{
sys <- create_system() |>
  add_sun() |>
  add_planet("Earth", parent = "Sun") |>
  add_planet("Mars",  parent = "Sun")

export_bodies(sys, file.path(tempdir(), "bodies.csv"))
# }
