Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation tools, I conducted linear static stress and thermal expansion studies on the camera/telescope interface components. Weight is critical on aerospace projects, and SOLIDWORKS Simulation helped me reduce material and weight on components with low operating stress, as well as strengthen parts where the stress is high.
