TECOSIM’s Engineering Expertise in the Space Sector

TECOSIM’s Engineering Expertise in the Space Sector

As humanity’s ambitions reach for the stars, the demands on space hardware have never been more critical. From pioneering interplanetary missions to advancing satellite technologies, the space sector requires unparalleled precision and innovation. TECOSIM is at the forefront of this exciting field, providing advanced engineering solutions to support every stage of space hardware development.

Engineering Excellence for Space Exploration

The space sector is characterised by its complex challenges. Hardware must perform reliably under extreme conditions, from high-stress environments to severe thermal fluctuations. TECOSIM’s team of seasoned engineers brings specialised expertise to ensure that space hardware meets these rigorous demands with precision and efficiency.

TECOSIM’s Role in Supporting Europe’s Pioneering Space Ambitions

A standout example of TECOSIM’s impact in the space sector is our collaborative work with a leading European space programme. A flagship rocket has been developed representing a major leap in space technology, designed to enhance Europe’s access to space with increased payload capacity and reduced launch costs.

TECOSIM’s Contribution:

• Structural Analysis Our engineers conducted extensive structural analysis to ensure the rocket’s integrity under the high stresses of launch and space travel.
• Optimisation We employed advanced simulation techniques to optimise the rocket’s design, improving performance and reducing material usage.
• Failure Analysis Through rigorous CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) simulations, we identified and mitigated potential failure points, ensuring a reliable and safe launch vehicle.

Our work with the European Space Agency exemplifies our commitment to supporting significant advancements in space technology and enhancing Europe’s space capabilities.

Early Integration of CAE

The success of space projects hinges on early and thorough planning. By integrating CAE from the beginning, TECOSIM helps you:

• Identify Loading Scenarios Assess the forces and environmental conditions your hardware will encounter.
• Determine Optimum Load Paths Optimise structural load paths for improved performance.
• Conduct Static and Dynamic Analysis Evaluate how designs perform under various operational stresses.
• Detect Potential Failures Address possible failure points early to avoid costly issues later.

Strength and Durability Analysis

Once initial designs are established, TECOSIM continues to provide value through:

• Virtual Validation Testing and refining designs in a virtual environment to minimise risks during physical testing.
• Structural Optimisation Adjusting designs to achieve a balance between safety and performance.

Efficiency and Cost Savings

TECOSIM’s CAE approach not only accelerates development but also reduces costs. By minimising the need for extensive physical testing and redesign, we help save time and resources. Our methods lead to lower material costs and fewer failures, making projects more cost-effective.

Enhancing Existing Systems

Beyond new designs, TECOSIM excels in:

• Optimising Existing Hardware Improving current systems to meet new performance standards.
• Diagnosing Long-Standing Issues Identifying and resolving persistent problems in existing systems.
• Testing for New Applications Evaluating existing machinery for new uses to extend its utility and lifespan.

Partnering for Future Success

TECOSIM’s work with a European Space Programme underscores our capability and commitment to advancing space technology. By leveraging CAE early in the development process, you benefit from enhanced design reliability, performance optimisation, and cost efficiency.
