I'm new to COMSOL and I'm trying to model the temperature of a satellite when it becomes in contact with solar radiation. I have been trying to model a cube within a cube where I will use a face of the outer cube to radiate the solar heat flux into a face of the inner cube and determine the temperature. Do you have any suggestions as to how to go about it?

One of the major new features of the Heat Transfer Module for version 6.1 is its Orbital Thermal Loads interface for Spacecraft thermal analysis, well suited for the analysis of cubesats. This blog post presents it in good detail. You will find more information on the Heat Transfer Module at this link. Best,
