Description
Thermo-elastic analysis has been performed for the SXI instrument to check the compatibility with allowable alignment errors resulting from thermal cycling in orbit near to cryogenic temperatures. The presentation focuses on the napping of temperature results between ESATAN thermal and NASTRAN FEM mechanical. Various interpolation methods were investigated and their accuracy compared.The resulting best method was then applied to the instrument model.
