[0002] Spacecraft load design is a major task in spacecraft design. Its main purpose is to analyze the spacecraft mission profile, select load conditions, and perform load calculations, so as to provide a basis for the spacecraft structure design and the strength calculation of sections (including stability and dynamic characteristics).

[0003] At present, the calculation method for aerospace vehicle load design is to calculate the pressure on the vehicle surface through CFD, and then carry out load design and strength analysis comprehensively through surface pressure loading according to the stress state of the vehicle. However, there are many shortcomings in long-term model design:

[0004] (1) The pressure on the aircraft surface is uneven. There is a deviation when loading with equal values ​​over a large area. When loading with surface distribution nodes, there is a mismatch between the strength calculation finite element nodes and the CFD calculation nodes. There is also a pressure deviation, which leads to a deviation in the final aerodynamic loading results.

[0005] (2) The load design calculation based on pressure loading is relatively complex for strength analysis modeling, requires a large amount of calculation work, and is not convenient for analyzing the load status of a single compartment. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
