Description

A Python-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been developed to enhance the system management of ESATAN-TMS thermal models through a hierarchical structure. This innovative tool enables users to create and modify model structures seamlessly, perform various tasks at both system and unit levels, and efficiently import/export tasks. Additionally, it facilitates the establishment of a collaborative repository with version control, ensuring smooth and coordinated teamwork. The tool offers automatic configuration of execution and post-processing tasks through preconfigured functions, significantly streamlining the workflow. This approach, combined with the methodology proposed, results in substantial savings in resources and engineering time. The proposed structure has been successfully implemented in several high-profile projects, including SUNRISE III, the Ariel telescope assembly, COMET-I Probe B2, Vigil PMI E-Unit, and UPMSat-3. These implementations have demonstrated the tool's effectiveness in managing complex thermal models and improving overall project efficiency.
