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.

Form:
k = CubeSatThermalMatrix( type,kEdge,kCore,node )

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
-------
Outputs
-------
k (7,7) Conductivity matrix
