Odd issue with maneuver estimator

Question. I am currently attempting to use the maneuver estimation generator. However, while my thrust scaling parameters and my start time parameter are moving in response to the optimizer, the stop time parameter is not despite the fact that I have set it to “True” Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Hello @baubin,

It sounds strange indeed, could you provide a simple test reproducing the issue for us to investigate ?

Cheers,

Unfortunately, I never did figure out what was going on here, so I can’t provide an example or even say for sure there was a bug. However, it turns out my thrust values for this problem are so low that I shouldn’t be optimizing for the start/stop times at all because it causes the optimizer to break down (I figured this out by playing with the tutorials).

On the plus side, I don’t need to optimize for the thrust times anyway and the optimizers for thrust magnitude and direction worked really well, so my problem here is solved. Sorry for the false alarm.
