Small scale satellites - Digital twin<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The global market for smaller scale satellites in space is expected to reach $491.3m by 2027, growing over 15 percent per year says Allied Market Research.

A CubeSat is a cubical-shaped small satellite measuring 10x10x10 cm3- approximately the dimension of the popular Rubik’s cube weighs around 1 kg. A CubeSat can be used as a single unit (1 U) or in clusters of several units or U\u2019s (1U, 2U, 3U, 6U, and 12U, among others).

The growing number of missions covered with microsatellites increases the need for numerical simulations.<\/span><\/p>

Very often, the provided CAD model is not adapted to CAE because it is made of a collection of surface (and not 3D solids) and contains details that are not relevant for the type of insights one wants to gain from the numerical mock-up.\nOur simulation workflow makes it easy to remove unnecessary details and constructing 3D solids.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The OOFELIE::Multiphysics solver permits also to assess of the impact of thermal loads during operation in Earth orbit. Assessing the impact of thermal stresses on the mechanical response can be done within the same solution.
