The Mechanisms Section can support the design and analysis of critical components in space mechanisms, including their lubrication and further aspects. In this context, the following software tools are used:
CABARET: Design and analysis of ball bearings for space applications (developed in cooperation with ESTL)
DOLLS: Database of liquid lubricants for space applications
(developed in cooperation with ESTL)
Mathcad®: Multi-purpose tool for engineering calculations
