This course will feature hands-on on-orbit spacecraft thermal analysis simulations. Using I-deas TMG, the students will follow step-by-step vignette examples of various spacecraft thermal analysis leading to the thermal analysis of a Mars orbiter spacecraft. Topics covered will include importing CAD geometry, assembly meshing, creating thermal couplings between disjoint meshes, applying boundary conditions, specifying orbital parameters, specifying radiation environment, and post-processing of transient on-orbit thermal results. Special emphasis will be placed on the new I-deas TMG features and capabilities including ray tracing, Monte-Carlo methods, thermal refraction in thin & thick lenses, etc.
