Problem Specification
This tutorial is aimed at showing how FEA software is used in "real-life" applications. The provided geometry and problem statement are results of research by <name> for <department>, and have only been altered slightly to make the tutorial.
A Tertiary Truss is being made for a deep-space telescope. This particular piece of equipment will reflect gathered light into detection sensors. Both weight and deformation are very key design aspects for this: the truss needs to be able to move the attached mirrors easily, and any deformation of the mirrors will cause unwanted distortion in the images.
Therefore, the design is focused on stiff, but lightweight structures, leading to a "honeycomb" and spar design.
