This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. AI tools were used to improve presentations and many of the illustrations. The engineering content, the analyses, the results, and all source code are the instructor’s original work. Design, analyze, and verify a real satellite structure — then put Claude AI to work as your engineering partner.
Taught by the author of the Springer textbook on finite element analysis for satellite structures, with 25+ years in aerospace and mechanical engineering — satellite structures at the Yuzhnoye Design Office and the Egyptian Space Program, and Airbus A380 work at the Virtual Engineering Centre — this course takes you from first principles all the way to a complete structural verification campaign of a real 1U CubeSat, carried out with free, open-source tools and Claude AI.
