  12. Thermal Analysis: Summary • Alcatel Alenia Space Italia is responsible for the execution of the thermal analysis for the whole antenna. Within this responsibility AASI will: • Generate the Geometrical Mathematical Model (GMM) and the Thermal Mathematical Model (TMM) • Run the thermal analyses for the design loads cases in order to generate the temperature maps for the thermal distortion analysis and contribute to the verification of antenna overall design • Define/verify subsystems and equipments operational and not operational thermal environment

  13. THERMAL MODELLING ACTIVITY GMM • The GMM of the Antenna will be prepared by using THERMICA S/W in the following steps: • Identification of the relevant geometrical data contained in the 3D CAD model • Generation of the Geometrical Model of the Antenna that will contain the relevant geometry, the geometrical and thermal nodes definition and thermo-optical properties. • Evaluation with THERMICA of the radiative thermal network and the solar fluxes absorbed by the exposed surfaces

  14. THERMAL MODELLING ACTIVITY TMM • The TMM of the Antenna will be prepared by using ESATAN S/W in the following steps: • Introduction of the linear conductors network (representing the conductive and convective links between the thermal nodes), the radiative network and the thermal loads generated by THERMICA. The linear conductors are calculated taking in to account the relevant materials lay-up, the materials thermal properties and the contact conductance • Introduction of a dedicated routine to properly simulate the radiative exchange in the terrestrial environment (including contribution from water vapour radiation emission) • Accounting of the convective exchange with atmosphere through different sets of heat transfer coefficients provided by the CFD analysis for all the relevant wind conditions

  15. THERMAL MODELLING ACTIVITY • THERMAL ANALYSIS RUNS • The most significant thermo-elastic cases presented in the Proposal will be critically revised and the relevant thermal analysis cases will be performed • Thermal analysis output temperatures will be transferred the to the structural finite elements model through a specific procedure for mapping the thermal node temperatures into the structural model.
