Simulation Solutions for the Space & Satellite Industry
Space systems demand absolute precision.
From satellites and launch vehicles to payloads and ground systems, engineering teams in the Space industry face extreme environments, complex physics, and zero tolerance for failure.
At EDRMedeso, we help organizations across the space and satellite sector design, validate, and optimize their technologies using industry‑leading engineering simulation tools from Ansys. Our simulation‑driven approach enables faster development, reduced risk, and greater confidence, from early concept through to launch readiness.
Why Engineering Simulation Is Critical for Space Applications
Why Engineering Simulation Is Critical for Space Applications
Space engineering pushes materials, electronics, and systems to their limits. Simulation enables engineers to predict real‑world behaviour before physical testing, where failures are costly or impossible to correct.
With advanced simulation, Space engineers can:
- Validate performance in extreme thermal, structural, and radiation environments
- Reduce reliance on expensive physical prototypes
- Identify failure modes early in the design cycle
- Optimize mass, durability, and efficiency
- Accelerate innovation while maintaining mission reliability
- Design launch systems, component, satellites and spacecraft
- Reduce the cost and time associated with physical testing
- Enhance the reliability and efficiency of space missions

Structural Analysis for Space & Satellite Systems
Solving Complex Engineering Problems in Space with Ansys Structural Analysis Software
Space structures must withstand launch loads, vibration, shock, and extreme temperature variations while remaining lightweight and robust.
Using Ansys Mechanical we support:
-
Satellite structures and deployable mechanisms
-
Launch vehicle components
-
Payload housings and support frames
-
Fatigue, vibration, and modal analysis
-
Non‑linear and transient structural simulations
This enables engineers to ensure structural integrity throughout launch and operational life.
Electronics & Thermal Simulation
Electronic & Thermal Simulation for Space Applications
Electronics reliability is mission‑critical in Space, where thermal control and radiation exposure present major challenges.
Our experts help Space engineering teams simulate:
-
Power electronics and thermal dissipation
-
PCB reliability and electronics packaging
-
Electromagnetic interference (EMI/EMC)
-
Signal integrity and high‑frequency behaviour
-
Thermal management in vacuum environments
Using tools such as Ansys HFSS, Icepak, and Sherlock, we help ensure electronic systems perform reliably throughout the mission lifecycle.
Fluids & Propulsion Simulation
CFD & Fluids Simulation for Space Engineering
From propulsion systems to thermal control, fluid behaviour plays a key role in Space system performance.
With Ansys Fluent and CFX, we support:
-
Propulsion and flow systems
-
Thermal control loops
-
Fuel and oxidiser flow behaviour
-
Multiphase and compressible flows
-
Aerothermal analysis for Space vehicles
Simulation allows rapid exploration of design options while reducing costly test campaigns.
Who We Have Helped
You’re transitioning through a whole range of different speeds and altitudes and it’s really important that your vehicle is stable. We looked at which software could model anything from sea level up to hypersonic speeds and Ansys won that trade-off with its computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and Ansys Fluent in terms of what range it can simulate and what kind of geometry it can handle.
— Andrew Bacon, Co-Founder and CTO / Space Forge
Ansys Granta MI enables us to keep track of a “more-than-1.5-million-piece puzzle” by storing literally any material-related information we have. From generic supplier information down to our own measurement’s single data points: Everything’s easily accessible, interconnected and analyzable
— Daniel Carmine Manocchio / Manager Material Technology , Kärcher
Ansys medini analyze has streamlined and accelerated functional safety analysis for hardware, software and systems — delivering possible efficiencies including an up to 50% reduction in the time devoted to these tasks.
— Kamil Svancara / Cyber Security Manager, ZF Friedrichshafen AG
By simulating the results of each print run — before we actually commit materials and machine time — we are substantially lowering our risk exposure
