Cost, time, and standards: what are the trade-offs?
When it comes to the space industry, the stakes are high. Achieving the right balance is crucial.
How can you engineer a less expensive satellite in shorter periods of time and still meet safety and performance standards?
Thermal engineers typically use a reduced order model (ROM) of a more detailed Space Systems Thermal model to more quickly evaluate numerous different scenarios.
But it’s not enough to be fast. The results must also be accurate.
To ensure this, the ROM must be validated against its corresponding detailed model before it can be used for the multiple operating conditions involved in a mission analysis. This typically time-consuming step represents a substantial cost and potential delay for a project.
So, how can space thermal engineers validate their ROMs quickly and efficiently?
This technical paper outlines an effective approach to developing, calibrating and validating a simplified thermal model that will greatly accelerate analysis while preserving accuracy.
Learn how you can transform your thermal analysis to achieve your project goals efficiently and accurately.
