Hi, I am still new to COMSOL. Right now, I am trying to model the temperature fluctuations of a spacecraft in space, and I am having some trouble figuring out how to do this. Ideally, I would like to be able to model these fluctuations over several orbits, such that there would be time periods during which the spacecraft would be in sunlight, and then in shadow. Is this something that is feasible to do? I was thinking about incorporating some kind of periodic heat condition, but I am not sure how to model that nor if that's the right route to follow. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
