ATG Europe improves its thermo-elastic (TE) behavioural analysis tools

In recent years the ATG Engineering team has continuously extended on its predictive capabilities for thermo-elastic (TE) behaviour of spacecraft and other high tech systems. Our newly developed toolset combined with our extensive knowledge allows us to provide you with both general and bespoke solutions at highly competitive turnaround times, specifically:

• Extended and fast classification of a thermo-elastically challenged system; identifying the key components and or assemblies that contribute to distortions and loads and thus pin-pointing where to solve issues,

• Efficient (coupled) TE or STOP iterations for e.g. sizing of thermal control systems and mechanical designs, providing direct insight on the results at greatly improved speed compared to conventional processes

These capabilities and knowledge have been developed in-house as well as in R&D programmes directly for and with ESA. Most recently we are wrapping up a program for ESA and the space industry in general, together with our consortium partners TAS-F, OHB and TAS-I; leading to novel guidelines for Thermo-Elastic verification, to be presented at the #ECSSMET conference next week.
