CubeSatModel:

Path: CubeSat/Utilities

% Generate vertices and faces for a CubeSat model.
 If there are no outputs it will generate a plot with surface normals, or
 you can draw the cubesat model using patch:

   patch('vertices',v,'faces',f,'facecolor',[0.5 0.5 0.5]);

 type can be '3U' or [3 2 1] i.e. a different dimension for x, y and z.

 Type CubeSatModel for a demo of a 3U CubeSat. 

 This function will populate dRHS for use in RHSCubeSat. The surface
 data for the cube faces will be 6 surfaces that are the dimensions of
 the core spacecraft. Additional surfaces are added for the deployable  
 solar panels. Solar panels are grouped into wings that attached to the 
 edges of the CubeSat.

 The function computes the inertia matrix, center of mass and total 
 mass. The mass properties of the interior components are computed from
 total mass and center of mass. 

 If you set frameOnly to true (or 1), v and f will not contain the 
 walls. However, dRHS will contain all the wall properties.

   Form:
   d            = CubeSatModel( 'struct' )
   [v, f]       = CubeSatModel( type, t )
   [v, f, dRHS] = CubeSatModel( type, d, frameOnly )
