I want to simulate a large flexible satellite and test it in the space conditions. What's the best software in this field?
I built a satellite in ADAMS but I couldn't apply orbital dynamics on this satellite. I want to imort it to a software in which I can analysis its behavior in the LEO orbit.
thanks for your responses.
Do you want to simulate the orbit of the satellite?
Can you be more specific?
Mahmoud,
It would be surprising if the structure of the satellite in some way altered its orbital properties - can you clarify exactly what this craft is?
(solar sail, magnetodynamic tether, etc.)
It is a high resolution remote sensing satellite with two large flexible panels and I want to see its attitude vibration under gravity and its angular velocity when a torque is applied. I can define a constant gravity in ADAMS software but I couldn't define an orbit and an angular velocity for the satellite's rotation around the Earth in ADAMS
Dear Mahmoud Tahmasebi,
You refer this paper

Mahmoud.
Surely you want to apply a constant 'zero' gravity in ADAMS?
The satellite is weightless, and all its parts are weightless - but have inertia. If I strike a plastic ruler, it vibrates whether it is in microgravity or on the surface of the Earth.
