Typbürste,
before I have a new computer I can not do much. This may take a while.
But I do not mind if someone else wants to try it.
You can extract 'AsBeCre-v0.3.1.py.zip' into any folder of your choice. I use a folder named 'Tools'.
I have made two asteroid belts for 'Eps Eri'.I wasn't sure how I may use either AsBeCre-v0.3.1.py (PY file) or AsterRingMaker.bat (Windows batch file) for making asteroid belts in the exosolar systems. No tutor on this yet. For one example: Epsilon Eridani has two asteroid belts and one confirmed exoplanet (AEgir or EPS Eri b) but with another unseen exoplanet (EPS Eri c). I exported two script files, EPS Eri for star and AEgir for planet to export folder in SE. I exported a gas giant from one of solar neighbor stars and created EPS Eri c script file out of that. Changed it to a ice giant and changed few atmospheric and orbital parameters according to Wikipedia information. AEgir revolves in very chaotic, steep orbit around the star at 3.50 AU, but EPS Eri c revolves in normal ecliptic orbit at 40.18 AU. Most asteroids are assumed to orbit in the ecliptic plane around the star like in our own solar system. I tested EPS Eri c script file by putting it in data\catalogs\planets and it works really great. I didn't use EPS Eri and AEgir script files yet. I have to figure out how to use asteroid belt maker.
You are very correct in assuming that the orbital inclination of planet 'AEgir' is as same as that of the main asteroid belts. Hubble Space Telescope finds that orbit of AEgir at Epsilon Eridani is at same tilt as the star's circumstellar disk, 25 degrees- even though no inclination data was given in Wikipedia's Epsilon Eridani planetary system table.
This is because in the 'ExoPlanets.sc' script 'Ran' is used as 'ParentBody' for AEgir.
It worked very beautifully!! The search box now shows two planets. Thank you for showing me how I may correct the first line in my script files. I have also updated both AEgir.sc and EPS Eri c.sc with DiscMethod and DiscDate as the following:
