The mechanical analysis products from ANSYS, Inc. incorporate a graphical modeling environment ideal for producing SINDA/G thermal models. These models have enhanced the concurrent engineering processes by allowing temperatures computed from advanced SINDA/G models to be used by simulation software from ANSYS for thermal stress/distortion computations. Since many thermal engineers already are familiar with the ANSYS Workbench environment, the learning curve for the SINDA/G plug-in is greatly reduced, thus eliminating the need to learn another modeling system.
The SINDA/G plug-in has powerful connections to thermal radiation codes such as THERMICA, NEVADA, TRASYS, TSS and NAI's fast new radiation solver SINDARad. Spacecraft thermal models now can be created in the ANSYS Workbench environment, and the orbital thermal environment can be defined by utilizing one of these thermal radiation and orbital heating codes.
SINDA/G is a trusted thermal design system. When integrated into an FEA modeler such as the ANSYS Workbench platform, these finite element models are translated into a SINDA/G network thermal model. SINDA/G is stable and can quickly solve large complex nonlinear thermal models involving temperature-dependent thermal properties, radiation and orthotropic material properties.
