In which we couple TMG with NX Nastran to simulate coupled thermal and structural problems of an antenna on a satellite in orbit. It's a fully coupled problem with iterations based on node displacement in each time step of the TMG run. To enable the system using MpCCI, two MpCCI adapters have been developed, one for TMG at the solver level and the other for NX Nastran at file level with embedded Nastran run and result processing capabilities. Simulation results demonstrates the benifit of implementing such an automated coupling system using MpCCI.…
