Government Industry Success


MSC Nastran and MSC Adams were successfully utilized to eliminate the need for system level deployment testing in the design and development of the NASA satellite constellation THEMIS (Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms) Probe Bus & Probe Carrier. MSC.Software solutions were used extensively, playing a critical role in the development and validation of THEMIS. This historic launch marked the first ever simultaneous deployment of five NASA satellites from a single launch vehicle. Heavy use of MSC.Software modeling tools served as the only means of validating that the design met all critical clearance requirements, as a system deployment test of all the Probes on the Probe carrier was not possible.
