The present paper deals with a modeling procedure of a thermal protection system designed for a conceptual Reusable Launch Vehicle. A novel parametric model based on a scalar field created by a set of soft object primitives, is used to assign an almost arbitrary seamless distribution of insulating materials over the vehicle surface. Macro-aggregates of soft objects are created using suitable geometric supports allowing a distribution of coating materials using a limited number of parameters. Applications to different conceptual vehicle configurations of an assigned thickness map, and materials layout show the flexibility of the model.
