Thermal Analysis - Orbiting Satellite

Altair Forum User

Hello all, 

I need to perform a Thermal Analysis on a Satellite.

In order to do it so simulating the space thermal environment is needed. 
My question is: How can I simulate the space thermal environment in hypermesh with Optistruct to take into account the specific orbit and time of the year. 

Thanks in advance, 
Best Regards

@Rahul R i have seen the ebook, but the ebook does not help.

It doesn't even refer radiation, nor View factors or anything that would help decide how to simulate the space environment. 

I was hoping you could be more specific.
