Arrowhead Partner Working with European Space Agency on Data Standardization

Arrowhead Partner Working with European Space Agency on Data Standardization

Tweet

Open, publicly available standards have a vital role to play in achieving interoperability and are an important area of focus in the Arrowhead Tools project. Spacecraft development is a domain that inevitably generates enormous volumes of data during the multiple phases of design, testing and development. It is crucial that this data is readily available to be used as needed in a range of systems to ensure that operations future developments are able to proceed as efficiently as possible.

DEFINE (Multidisciplinary 3D Digital models for AIT environment), Jotne's new project for ESA, will deploy a standardized format for digital models and simulation data for spacecraft development. The DEFINE project will utilize ISO 10303 (STEP) and more specifically its application protocol AP 209:Application protocol: Multidisciplinary analysis and design. This will improve the efficiency of the spacecraft assembly, integration and test procedures.

"One of the challenges in the DEFINE project is the large number of different simulation and 3D tools that are in use, with no standard for making them mutually compatible and accessible, The response to this is to use open, international and publicly available standards", says Kjell Bengtsson, Vice President at Jotne.

These models often contain different kinds of information at different levels of detail. Thus, defining an electronic format capable of maintaining the "as tested" configuration of the spacecraft, from computer simulations at the planning stage, through assembly of the spacecraft, to the pre-flight testing at ESTEC, will be crucial.

Some of the tools to be integrated into DEFINE are: tools for 3D CAD (e.g. Catia, Solidworks, NX...) Thermal and Optical simulations (e.g. Nastran, Lighttool...) and sensors' set-up/test data acquired on the test floor.

This project has received funding from ECSEL Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 826452. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and Norway and Switzerland.


Artemis

ARTEMIS Industry Association strives for a leading position of Europe in Embedded Intelligence. The Association is a membership organization for the European R&I actors with more than 180 members and associates from all over Europe. The multidisciplinary nature of the membership provides an excellent network for the exchange of technology ideas, cross-domain fertilisation, as well as for large innovation initiatives. As private partner in ECSEL Joint Undertaking, ARTEMIS-IA supports formation of consortia and initiation of project proposals for joint collaboration and creates the meeting place where key industry players and other R&D&I actors identify strategic high priority topics for collaborative R&I projects.
