Description
This paper outlines a detailed workflow for calculating the depointing of an antenna due to thermos-elastic effects. The process starts with a thermal analysis to determine the temperature distribution across the antenna structure in orbit. These temperature data are then mapped onto a structural model. Accurate mapping results are ensured through mesh visualization and mapping constraints. Following this, a thermo-elastic distortion case is conducted. The antenna depointing is assessed using the displacement of a coordinate system and the displacement compared to the undistorted antenna reflector. We will discuss how this workflow allows for precise evaluation of thermal-induced distortions, and potential avenues for automation.
