The Ansys Systems Tool Kit (STK) - formerly known as Satellite Tool Kit (STK) - is designed to provide a 3D multi-physics modelling system capable of analysing space payloads and platforms in realistic mission simulations.

Simulating a virtual version of a real-life space mission brings a number of benefits to the process.

In addition, the Systems / Satellite Tool Kit can combine data from other operational domains (e.g. air, sea, and land) into a single integrated analysis environment and mission view. With the growth in multi-domain awareness demand, this is an important capability.

Ensuring that all aspects of a satellite mission are accurately modelled or simulated, during engineering and operations, is vital for a successful mission and the Ansys Satellite Tool Kit has been designed to meet this objective in any application.
