STK Level 2 - Advanced Tutorials

The Level 2 - Advanced tutorials are designed to take you through the Ansys Systems Tool Kit^® (STK^®) digital mission engineering software's advanced capabilities. They build off of the STK Level 1 - Beginner tutorials. You will take simulations from the STK Fundamentals training a step further with advanced analysis capabilities and tools to quantify and measure mission effectiveness.

Several of the tutorials use MATLAB, Python, and/or Microsoft Excel. While not required to complete the tutorials, these programs are very useful to have when using the STK software. If you do not have access to these programs, you can open example files in a text editor to view the syntax.

Once you are Level 1 - STK Certified and have completed Comprehensive training (the Level 1 - Beginner and Level 2 - Advanced tutorials), you will be ready to take the Level 2 - STK Master Certification test.
