Design Optimization
Determine which variables have the
greatest impact on your problem.
Choose variables to study in greater
detail
Build an understanding of how key
inputs impact desired figures of merit,
e.g. performance, cost, and reliability
Choose values for inputs to drive
figures of merit to desirable values

• What is it?
A trade study engine for STK
• Sample Problems
What is the appropriate orbit
to achieve my coverage goals
When is the best launch time
to minimize my fuel
requirement?
Where should I place my
ground stations to achieve
highest signal quality
• Customer Pain Points
Changing values in STK is a
trial and error process
Time consuming
Error prone

How does coverage change
with inclination angle?
How does coverage change
when inclination and semimajor are both changed?
A launch vehicle will give
a certain set of drop-off
conditions with known
distributions. How does
this affect the final orbit?

• Improve ease of use to address the needs of
a 2nd wave of users
Minimize scripting/macro requirements
Access all data providers out of the box
Provide complete Object Model coverage
Improve performance
Avoid importing the whole Scenario each time Analyzer
loads
Tighter integration with the STK GUI
Eliminate HTML interface, utilize toolbars

After selecting an
object in the tree, all
potential variables for
that object are
displayed. Variables
can be created from
any Data Provider.

Instead of importing the
whole scenario each time
Analyzer loads, users can
now just select the
variables of interest. This
results in significant
performance improvements
for large scenarios.

• This is a complete rewrite. Older Analyzer
setups cannot be loaded into the new
Analyzer (saved Trade Studies can still be
viewed though)
• The new architecture has room to grow.
As content is added to the Object Model,
we can quickly add content to Analyzer
too
