CubeSatThermalMatrix:

Path: CubeSat/Thermal

% Generates a 7 node CubeSat thermal matrix
 The CubeSat has 6 faces and a core node that represents everything else in the
 CubeSat.

 * kEdge is a unit conductivity in Watts/mm deg-K
 * kCore is W/deg-K
 * x, y, z are the edge lengths in mm.

 The default node convention is:

   node = {'+x','+y','+z','-x','-y','-z'};
   node 7 is always the core

 Type CubeSatThermalMatrix for a 3U CubeSat demo. The x faces have the short
 edges.

   Inputs
   ------
   type    (1,:) 'nU' n may be a fraction, i.e. 1.5
                      or for a custom CubeSat, enter 3 axes: [x y z], as
                      in [1 2 3] (U)
   kEdge   (1,1) Edge conductivity (W/m/deg-K)
   kCore   (1,1) Conductivity to the core node (W/deg-K)
   node    {1,6} Definitions of node '+x' '-x' etc. *optional
