Modelling of thermal processes

A comprehensive modelling of thermal modes relevant for various elements of the simulator that combines beam and thermal physical model tackles two challenges: on the one hand, it helps to model thermal modes of optical elements and reasonably consider design issues of a proper cooling system. On the other hand, the results of such modelling give an idea of intensity of such thermal fluxes generated by the simulator directed to test subject, resulted from heating of the simulator components. The calculation of such fluxes contributes to the reliability of thermal vacuum tests.
