Introduction to Ansys STK Shield Plus

EMA is excited to announce a new software product, Ansys STK Shield Plus. STK Shield Plus is an add-on to Ansys STK. It allows STK users to quickly address survivability concerns from the effects of electromagnetic radiation, space plasmas, high-energy radiation, and atmospheric electricity.

This integration provides the following six streamlined workflows:

  • Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness
  • Lightning risk analysis
  • Cable shielding evaluation
  • Spacecraft surface ESD risk assessment
  • Radiation dose-depth curve generation
  • 3D radiation dose modeling

In this webinar, we will take you through each of the workflows giving you a detailed inroduction into each of the workflows, including the timesaving process of assigning materials, setting up radiation environments, meshing, running and post-processing the results.

Join us on July 23 at 1 p.m. ET. Click here to get registered.
