Ansy s STK is a physics-based orbital modelling environment\, the premier tool used by researchers and engineers worldwide for analysing various platform s and payloads in an accurate mission context.\n\nThe presentation will gu ide you through the journey of modelling and simulating complex systems wi thin their operational environment. We will delve into how to construct or import precise models of assets across ground\, sea\, air\, and space usi ng STK\, and assemble these to represent existing or proposed systems. We' ll demonstrate how to generate a real-time dynamic 3D simulation incorpora ting high-resolution terrain\, imagery\, and RF environments.\n\nWe will d escribe the integration of component and system-level modelling\, crucial for those working with space applications and urban environments\, demonst rating an end-to-end workflow - starting from the component-level modellin g of an antenna to its system-level integration onto a satellite. We will also elaborate on using Ansys STK for digital mission support for satellit es in orbit\, and demonstrate an advanced radar analysis utilizing actual RCS data from an HFSS aircraft model.\n\nSpeaker profile: Joel Thakker has MSc in Aerodynamics & CFD\, BSc in Astronautics\, and is now the Senior E ngineering Solutions Manager from LEAP Australia. In a career that started in the US space industry nearly 20 years ago\, through to engineering rol es in the UK and now Australia\, Joel has been an active agent in promotin g and using numerical modelling (or simulation) for subsea-\, ground-\, ai rborne-\, naval- and space- platforms. A background in astrodynamics\, cou pled with fluid mechanics and aerodynamics\, has allowed him to work with global corporations and start-ups alike\, providing solutions that work in a multi-physics environment\, for multi-disciplinary teams. Today\, he ma nages the Mission Engineering and Thermofluids (CFD) business units at LEA P Australia\, providing solutions to customers across Australia and New Ze aland.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding the meeting or t he process\, please don't hesitate to reach out to Dr Lily Qiao (l.qiao@ad fa.edu.au).
