Ansys Systems Tool Kit (STK) 13: The Definitive Digital Mission Engineering Platform Ansys Systems Tool Kit (STK) 13 is the flagship software for high-fidelity modeling, simulation, and analysis of complex systems across the domains of space, air, land, sea, and cyberspace. As a core component of the Ansys Simulation Software portfolio, STK 13 provides engineers, analysts, and mission planners with a comprehensive physics-based environment to design missions, analyze system performance, and visualize operations in a dynamic, time-accurate virtual world. From a single satellite’s orbit to a global multi-domain network of assets, STK enables data-driven decision-making for aerospace, defense, telecommunications, and intelligence applications. Core Philosophy: Physics-Based Modeling for Actionable Insight STK’s power lies in its rigorous propagation of orbits and its...
Ansys Systems Tool Kit (STK) is a physics-based digital mission engineering software for modeling, simulating, and analyzing complex systems across aerospace, defense, telecommunications, space, and maritime domains. It enables users to create time-dynamic 3D scenarios involving platforms (e.g., satellites, aircraft, ground vehicles, ships), sensors, communications, and environments, supporting mission planning, performance evaluation, and system-of-systems integration. Released in late 2024 (aligned with Ansys 2024 R2), 12.10.0 focuses on stability enhancements, bug fixes, and minor refinements to core capabilities like trajectory propagation, sensor modeling, and API integrations, building on the foundational features of the 12.x series without introducing major new modules. As of September 2025, the current major release is 2025 R1 (STK 12.12+), but 12.10.0 remains supported for production use via...
ansys STK 12.7 Feature highlights Satellite Collection You can now use Satellite Collection objects as endpoints for object lines in the 2D and 3D Graphics windows. You can now create a Satellite Collection object from a set of SP3 files (often used to model satellite navigational systems). Satellite Collection subset graphics options can now be saved to the default Satellite Collection file, allowing for subsets to be shown automatically when new Satellite Collection objects are created. You can now create your own Satellite Collection subset from the Satellite Collection Definition properties page using a new Add button and the accompanying dialog box. For instance, you may create subsets based on filters derived from metadata contained in the database used to...
