[10-09-07 – Satellite Today]  MicroSat Systems is using Dassault Systèmes’Simulia software to accelerate satellite time-to-launch, Dassault announced Oct. 9.

MicroSat Systems is using Abaqus Unified FEA software to analyze the structural and thermal response of their satellite systems, which consist of a modular bus structure; lightweight and foldable, thin-film, solar array systems; and miniaturized avionics.

Realistic simulation solutions from Simulia are enabling MicroSat Systems to develop a competitive product line of satellite buses that provide more payload, power, data processing and pointing accuracy, the company said in a press release.
