Novel Automated Software System for Arcing Simulation in Spacecraft On-Board Electronics
In our project, we propose an innovative software solution to the problem of electrical arcing risk prediction in high-voltage on-board electronic equipment intended for long-term self-contained use, e.g. in spacecraft conditions. It completely based on so-called “decomposition” approach proposed earlier. The novel computational algorithm implemented in our software significantly (ten times as compared to full-scale simulation) reduces computation costs. It makes possible to solve large diagnostic problems without high performance computing. Main pre- and post-processing operations are completely automated. As a result we easily locate regions of possible primary arcs (critical regions) and identify corresponding critical ranges of operating parameters. Our working prototype can be easily applied to diagnostics of electronic devices operated under wide range of parameters.
