Path: Thermal/ThermalAnalysis
% Compute the temperature in input flux for the spacecraft components.
This computes the average temperature of each component.
The optical input is a flux vector with magnitude in watts.
The number of points generated will equal the length of the longest
transformation matrix in g or the longest member of e.
If the number of points is > 1 all other members of e and transformation
matrices in g must equal that number of 1.
The computations can use shadowing. To get shadowing you must enter the
shadow and scanLines fields.
