6 Page 6 of STRUCTURE OF MODEL FILES 3.1 APPLIED PHILOSOPHY The general idea is to apply a classical principle of software engineering, enabling a better management of complex applications (models): Modularity: partly achieved by the use of models, sub-models and subroutines. The application is broken down into several smaller parts, which are handled more easily. The structure will be efficient, through the use of command tool files (shellscripts, makefile) allowing the files used to be automatically created and updated. The application of this approach is described in the following paragraphs Geometrical Mathematical Models (GMM) The approach is applicable to ESARAD generated geometrical mathematical models The geometrical shapes are defined in a top-level file with only generic material optical properties referenced. This means no beginning of life or end of life material names and the removal of direct definitions for thermo-optical properties associated to shapes (usual in SYSBAS THERMICA standard files). A directory for each application case is then created, containing the corresponding geometry and the associated dated materials data. In the case of different geometrical configurations (stowed, deployed), the geometry shall be organised in several different files. Figure 3-1 shows the configurations for ESARAD. Radiative couplings and external fluxes production should be defined at the top-level model. ESARAD implementation: Modularity: management in the central database of each sub-model along with its associated thermo-optical properties. The sub-models are then called at the top-level by the INCLUDE_MODEL statement. Each submodel in the database uses dated properties and consequently several different model names are necessary. Note: The PLM sub-model to be included in the main ESARAD model will be a reduced model, whereas the detailed PLM model will be built up using SYSTEMA.

These sub-models shall be loaded into the database before being included in the current level model. The geometric model file for the HOT1 case (gaianeol.erg). It includes the files described above (sub-models, geometry and EOL thermo-optical properties) using INCLUDE or INCLUDE_MODEL statements. The satellite orbit and altitude for the hot case are both defined in the kernel file (gaianeol.erk). The file (gaianeol.ere) allows the generation of the ESATAN input file for the HOT1 case. The directory COLD1 is built in a similar way as the HOT1. The COLD1 case uses the same configuration as HOT1, but with thermo-optical properties of a different age (beginning of life in the COLD1 case). The STOWED1 directory is similar to COLD1 with regard to the BOL thermo-optical properties and the configuration of the PLM and SVM sub-models. The DSA sub-model contains the stowed configuration instead. o The three cases have different kernel files.

8 Page 8 of Thermal Mathematical Model (TMM) For flight calculations only one generic file structure is used for the thermal mathematical models (ESATAN), located in each computation case directory. The files will be pointed to by symbolic link from the corresponding Esarad output directory and will include a case defining parameter input file (param.inp). A typical thermal run that covers the majority of cases could be described as follows: A single radiative couplings / external fluxes data set from a GMM run (which may correspond to several successive attitudes) Run of one of the three following cases: steady state alone steady state + transient transient from a set of initial temperatures (A file of initial temperatures is incorporated hrough the use of OPEN/READ/CLOSE FORTRAN commands). The generic file consists of all codes manually created involving all computation cases (internal dissipations, heating, etc). Also included is the algorithm required to direct the user toward the correct configuration utilising the appropriate parameters. These parameters, dissipation, heating types, etc. along with the necessary ESATAN monitoring variables, are defined in each computation case directory in a file called param.inp. This file is incorporated into the generic file through the use of either $INCLUDE statements or OPEN/READ/CLOSE FORTRAN commands. The advantage of the FORTRAN commands is that the FORTRAN Compiler and Loader do not have to be executed every time a parameter is altered in the param.inp file. Again, to follow the modularity principle, the following should be adopted: ESARAD output files shall be broken down into several files corresponding to each data type (radiative couplings, flux tables and subroutines). These files are then called with the ESATAN $INCLUDE statement in the generic model file. With this rationale, the only differences between the cases is the GMM data. This data is defined in standard name files (so that they can be called through the $INCLUDE statement in the generic file). These files shall be placed in each computation case directory or referred to elsewhere through symbolic links. As an example see Figure 3-2.

That is the internal and external radiative couplings (gaia_int.esa and gaia_igr.esa), the transient flux tables (gaia_eqa.esa) and the flux subroutines (gaia_eqi.esa). These files are accessed in the ESATAN directory by using symbolic links to the associated GMM directory. OPEN / READ / CLOSE statements are used to input the ESATAN run parameter values, global variables and control constants, specific to the case studied (param.inp). The HOT1 directory comprises all necessary files to run the HOT1 case with ESATAN: ESARAD output files for the current model and all sub-models; placed in a particular directory (ESARAD / HOT1), these files can be accessed by symbolic links. ESATAN global variables and control constants parameter file, associated to the case studied. The COLD1 and the STOWED1 directories are structured in a similar way as the HOT1. The differences are the particular GMM output files used and the parameters in the param.inp files.

10 Page 10 of Model Organisation in Directories The following structure has already been discussed in section 3.1. Figure 3-3 shows the overall organisation of the files.

Although it may be necessary to have specific file names, tailor made for the project, the following should be used as a guideline for the file names structure. The files names shall have the following format: xxx(x)yzzz_suf.ext using lower-case letters only (to be differentiated from ESATAN output files), where xxx is the sub-system (plm, svm, dsa) as defined in section 2.2 xxxx is the system (gaia) as defined in section 2.2 y defines the configuration, according to Table 3-1, for sub-model level only zzz defines the model type as indicated in Table 3-2, for sub-model level only suf is the suffix that shall only be used to characterise the main ESARAD model (internal/ external) or ESATAN input files, Table 3-3. The suffix names in this table are recommended names if external files are to be used instead of including the code directly. The file extension.ext characterises the model file type, Table 3-4. This table is not an exhaustive list of model file types. Other ESATAN output file types may be used however these are dependant on the subroutines called and the post-processing executed.

16 Page 16 of GEOMETRICAL MODEL SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS 5.1 ELEMENT REPRESENTATION Each geometrical model shall form a completely enclosed surface (i.e. no unintentional spaces between shells). With detailed modelling there may be small gaps between structural elements (e.g. an equipment baseplate mounted onto the spacecraft surface). To reduce the amount of unnecessary detailed shell modelling the gap may be omitted with the corresponding radiative coupling directly implemented in the ESATAN thermal model. Geometrical mathematical models shall have a limited number of SHELLS. The maximum numbers of allowable shapes for each model are 4000 (TBC). 5.2 THERMO-OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS Thermo-optical properties shall be defined through materials. These materials shall be referenced at the geometrical shell definition. Thermo-optical properties should not be created within geometrical shapes. The names of materials referenced at the creation of geometrical shapes shall be generic. That is not dated, beginning of life or end of life. This enables the same geometrical definition for different model cases and stages of analysis. Assignment of the correct thermal optical properties, according to the case, shall be done by the assignment of each dated material to the generic one. The names of the material thermo-optical properties shall have the following format: PP_AAAAAATTT_suf where: PP identifies the project concerned; here GA for GAIA. AAAAAA identifies the material; for example: CHM309. TTT represents the material thickness: 15M=15mil, 2M5=2.5mil, 0M3=0.3 mil, TTT is used when the thickness is not applicable. suf stands for the property age; this suffix is only used for ESARAD, to define dated materials before re-utilisation by generic ones. Code BOL EOL FIX Description Beginning of life (also used for the internal coatings, non-damaged since they are not subjected to the external environment (sun, radiation, particles). End of life Coating not damaged by the external environment (for instance, metal laying). Table 5-1: Code of ESARAD Material Name Suffixes The following table, which is free for completion, lists the thermo-optical properties and the name w.r.t. the specified name for several materials:

19 Page 19 of ADDITIONAL PROCESSING TO OBTAIN ESATAN INPUT Any automated or manual processing necessary to obtain the correct ESATAN input from the raw radiative software output shall be described in the documentation. Removal of GRs with specific nodes and surface trimming through coefficients are examples of this type of manipulation.

20 Page 20 of THERMAL MODEL SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS 6.1 ELEMENT REPRESENTATION The thermal model shall concentrate on the accurate representation of interfaces. The external MLI layer shall be modelled separately from the structure underneath. Each external node of the thermal model shall correspond with one or several surfaces of the geometrical model. The thermal models shall be limited in size. The maximum number of nodes that can be used for each model is 1000 (TBC). The node numbering shall be in accordance to Table 6-1. Node Number Range Description Service Module Thermal Tent PLM Sun Shield Inactive Nodes Deep Space Table 6-1: Node Number Ranges used for GAIA Radiative couplings between the sub-models are covered by the ESARAD calculation using the main model. The conductive interface nodes between the sub-models are defined as arithmetic nodes (i.e. without thermal heat capacity) in Esatan. They are listed in Table 6-2. I/F Node Numbers Description 2991, 2992, 2993 I/F between SVM (top floor) and PLM (bipods) I/F between SVM (top floor) and PLM (MLI tent), number of nodes is TBD by EF I/F between SVM and DSA I/F between PLM and DSA (stowed configuration) at thermal tent Table 6-2: Definition of conductive interface nodes 6.2 MODEL MONITORING LOGIC The organisational philosophy is to use only one generic thermal model file to monitor all cases. External data, radiative and flux, are called with the $INCLUDE statement and the configuration definition is achieved using control variables. An application skeleton that enables the monitoring of the different run cases (see section ) is defined. The parameter values that allow the complete specification of the execution run are provided in the param.inp file. This is called either with an $INCLUDE statement or through the use of FORTRAN OPEN/READ/CLOSE commands. The advantage of the latter method is that the code does not need to be re-complied and re-loaded every time an input parameter is altered. The necessary parameters are global variables, but also consist of ESATAN control constants as indicated in Table 6-3. The items in normal type in Table 6-3 shall be used. The items in italics are recommended to be used as shown.

21 Page 21 of 28 Parameter Type Description RUNTYP Integer Specifies the type of run to execute: -1: Transient run execution from initial temperatures defined in an ESATAN formatted file called with $INCLUDE (steady state case). 0: Steady state + transient run. 1: Steady state run alone. DISSIP Integer Specifies the configuration to be used (in particular regarding dissipations). HEATCONF Integer Type of heating used in PLM (TBC) Table 6-3: Modelling Control Parameters 6.3 COUPLINGS The model couplings shall be structured according to the following: Internal structure couplings (structure, equipment to structure, MLI) Interface couplings with sub-models Internal radiative couplings, per enclosure. External radiative couplings. 6.4 TRANSIENT SENSITIVITY ANALYSES The main thermal calculations will be based on steady-state analyses. In addition several transient sensitivity analyses shall be performed, such as Variation of the solar incident caused by changes in satellite attitude (alpha = 0.2, beta = 0.4, 1 turn / 6 hours). This will be taken into account in ESATAN by a time dependent factor for the solar absorbed fluxes (ranging from to 1.004). Dissipation variation (±0.2% on a period of 6 hours). These sensitivity analyses shall be based on HOT1 (see section 4.5 ). 6.5 PROGRAMMING STANDARDS In order to make the model simpler to understand, the model code shall be structured as a series of subroutines, which are called by the $INCLUDE statement The model code shall either use ESATAN control variables and model global variables, or subroutine calls only. The intention is to reduce each $ section code to less than 30 (TBC) lines. An exemplary skeleton file for the flight calculations is shown in Appendix 1, which shall act as a guideline. The skeleton files corresponding to the launch phase or test campaign will show additional INCLUDE statements taking into account the changed environment (thermal nodes, interfaces, couplings).

22 Page 22 of MODEL ACCEPTANCE The Mathematical Model delivery acceptance criteria shall be: 7.1 THERMAL MODEL ACCEPTANCE Run of delivered reference cases (HOT Case) Comparison between the stand-alone model results generated in steady state mode and the main model results delivered. The mean of the deviations shall be less than 0.1 C (TBC) and the maximum deviation less than 1.0 C (TBC). 7.2 GEOMETRICAL MODEL ACCEPTANCE Run of the reference cases delivered. Run of the necessary processes that are specified in the model documentation, to obtain the correct ESATAN input data. Run of ESATAN models with this new data.
