Simulation – Digital Mission Engineering<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

Digital mission engineering (DME) software has become a must-have tool for engineers who design and operate mission-critical systems across space, air, sea and land domains – such as satellites, aircraft and maritime vessels, all of which deal with complex and dynamic operational environments.\u00a0<\/p>

DME tools allow for the design and validation of today’s large interconnected systems, where the interaction of assets across physical domains is both complex and ever-changing. Modelling these systems in a physics-accurate environment enables a crucial understanding of both system performance, and ultimately, mission success.<\/p>

With a mix of posts from LEAP’s expert team, along with examples from our customers around Australia and New Zealand, this blog will explore how (from chip to mission) advanced DME simulation tools are transforming the engineering landscape and helping engineers to ensure they deploy their products successfully, getting it right the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

Orbit determination serves as a foundational cornerstone to almost all modern telecommunications systems. It allows us to accurately discern not only the current, but the future position of satellites in orbit, a vital component to being able to transmit and receive data from these satellites, avoid collisions up in space and plan future space exploration missions. This post explains how orbital determination works and how the Ansys Orbit Determination Tool Kit (ODTK) helps to simplify what can be an incredibly difficult undertaking.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

In part one of this satellite design series, we explored the modelling of a physics accurate RF Comms link between ground facility and LEO satellite. However, rarely do modern LEO satellites work in isolation. Instead, they work as part of a larger constellation, continuously exchanging data to fulfil their intended mission. Part two of this series explores the design of a larger LEO constellation and how Ansys STK allows for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of user-specified regions of interest to discern how effective a given constellation will be.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t
