Parameter Analysis of a Concurrent Engineering Satellite Study

Kurzfassung

Aim of this talk is the analysis of the design parameter space, i.e. the amount of used parameters and their interdependencies observed during the SolmeX Concurrent Engineering (CE) study, a Sun observation satellite mission, which was conducted by the DLR Institute of Space Systems in Bremen. In total a number of 406 parameters have been detected including 9531 interconnections. By the help of the graph theory the structure of those parameters is elaborated counting their vertices and nodes. It builds the basis for the development of a generic design analysis and optimization tool for the CE data model.
