Distributed collaborative simulation for space-based telescope

A space-based telescope is a complex system combining multiple disciplines, such as structure, optics, control and electrics. In order to simulate such a system, a distributed collaborative simulation scheme was put forward. This scheme divided a complicated telescope into several subsystems, and each of them was simulated by an individual discipline simulation workstation. The whole simulation system was administrated by a management workstation. On the basis of the simulation scheme, the control process of wave-front correction was carried out. The simulation result proves that the control method is correct, as well as the feasibility of the distributed collaborative simulation scheme.
