i want to model a LEO satellite network on opnet.the main feature of this network is a rapid dynamically topology but predictable.if we consider each satellite as a node,the RF inter satellite links connect nodes together.my problem is that i don't know how model a network with this features on opnet.i need some help.your help can guide me a lot.
You can very easily do it using the Satellite toolkit (stk) sotware. You can simulate LEO constellation and do all types of necessary simulation and analysis on inter satellite link. There is also some linkage possible with STK and OPNET you can find details with AGI.
i simulated my satellites.their orbits with stk but i want to simulate my network on opnet to understand the delay and throughput.
I think you have to program all nodes that will have your satellite network based media access method you will use, and generate your traffic sources according to the model you specify, to determine the delay you must consider the distance and aspects packet size, the prograpagación losses, etc.
which node should i use? opnet has satellite node but i don't know how use it
