Description

Radian is a thermal analysis software conceived to provide agility to engineers, both at modelling and computing processes. Our software is accessible through a regular web browser and counts on a scalable network of computing resources in the cloud.

Over the course of 2025, as part of the ESA BIC Madrid incubation program, our team has compared the results computed by our simulation engine with other tools like ESATAN-TMS, obtaining a successful correlation for steady-state and transient test cases. Moreover, we have deployed our first STEP-TAS exporting capabilities, easing the exchange of thermal data with other vendors. These activities have counted with the support and guidance from the Thermal Analysis and Verification Section of the European Space Agency.

Furthermore, several new features have been included both in the user interface and the simulation engine, with orbital mechanisms and parametric analysis being the most prominent.
