Abstract
Devices for simulating thermal loads may include a platform, a stage affixed to the platform but having a portion that is moveable relative to the platform, and nodes coupled with the platform. In one example, a node may be affixed to the movable portion of the stage so as to be movable relative to the platform. In another example, a thermal node may be affixed to the movable portion of the stage and provide a thermal flux at a top surface of the thermal node. In another example, the stage may include a first substage that is affixed to the platform and a second substage that is moveable relative to the first substage. A node may be affixed to the second substage so as to be moveable relative to the first substage. Thermal energy may be transferred between the thermal source and a top surface of the node.
