For most of the parts and assemblies used for aerospace applications the margins of safety with respect to:

• plasticity,
• fracture, and
• buckling

or in terms of

• overheating,
• undercooling, or
• too high temperature gradients,

or toward

• unallowable high deformations

have to be proven. These tasks will be accomplished by our engineers of the analysis department according to regulations of

• the European Space Agency (ESA-PSS),
• aviation standars (Aviation Handbook, Handbook for Structural Simulations),
• the regulation of American aerospace authorities NASA
• and the MIL standards.

Examples for our work at the field of analysis of aerospace are:

• design and simulation of air circulation cooling of the Nasmyth Tubes within the international project SOFIA,
• stress and deformation analysis at the mainly thermal loaded telescope actuation limb for the SOFIA project, and
• thermal and structural analysis for the High Gain Major Assembly (HGAMA) of the satellite Rosetta.
