Research of Telecommunication Satellite Collaborative Design Method Based on Structured Data

Document-based collaborative design is a common method in the process of telecommunication satellite development. The technical parameters are distributed in a large number of documents, so the parameters are relatively isolated and there is no unified design platform. Therefore, this method has several deficiencies in the efficiency and traceability of collaborative design, and it is hard to realize the homology, reusability and version control of data. This paper presents a collaborative design method which is driven by structured parameters and can support a fast and efficient design iteration. Transform the parameters from unstructured to structured ones based on the XML technology. XML is used as the parameters carrier, and then establish the mapping relation of the parameters. A collaborative design platform is constructed, and based on the mapping relation of the parameters, the satellite development process is decomposed into tasks, and the design process is driven and iterated by the automatic mapping of parameters. Finally, we developed the collaborative design platform based on the 3D EXPERIENCE of Dassault Systems and ran an example of satellite project design, the result shows that the structured data-based method can effectively solve the problems of documents-based method, therefore it can enhance the efficiency and quality of satellite design.
