Shield Plus Mission Workflows

Overview

Ansys STK Shield Plus is an advanced add-on to Ansys Systems Tool Kit (STK) that provides six automated, mission-aware workflows for evaluating electromagnetic and radiation-related risks in aerospace systems. These include electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, lightning strike susceptibility, cable shielding performance, spacecraft surface ESD risk, radiation dose–depth analysis, and ray-tracing–based threat assessment.

Designed for speed and accuracy, the tool seamlessly integrates multiphysics simulation outputs with real mission parameters—such as orbital paths, flight profiles, and environmental radiation models. By unifying physics solvers with STK’s operational context, engineers can rapidly identify vulnerabilities, compare design options, and make confident decisions to enhance mission survivability.
