AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, finite element model processing methods for multi-payload small satellites are difficult to balance computational efficiency, accuracy, and ease of modeling. Especially when there are many payloads and they are of complex types, existing methods suffer from large computational scale, low computational efficiency, poor ease of operation, and difficulty in judging computational accuracy.
A multi-point constraint simulation screw connection method is adopted to assemble the load finite element physical model with the satellite main structure finite element physical model. By establishing an equivalent finite element model of the load, the degrees of freedom of the load finite element physical model are reduced. The mass and stiffness matrices of the equivalent finite element model are adjusted by modal characteristic equations to achieve accuracy matching with the physical model.
It significantly reduces the degrees of freedom of the whole-satellite finite element model of multi-payload small satellites, improves computational efficiency, realizes interaction between different finite element software, ensures computational accuracy and modeling convenience, and meets the needs of rapid iterative design.
