Mechanical/Workbench has an excellent capability to do Parameter Studies like this with a high degree of automation.
In Mechanical, next to the line where the emissivity is entered should be a box. When you click on that box, the letter P appears. You have just created an input parameter.
Once you solve the model and request a result such as Temperature, in the Details window for the Temperature plot, there is a box next to the Maximum value. When you click that box, the letter P appears. You have just created an output parameter.
In Workbench, below the Steady State Thermal analysis block you will see a Parameter Set block. Click that and you will see a Table of Design Points with one row for the emissivity value you started with and the temperature result. Type in new values of emissivity in new rows. When you have all those rows, click the Update All Design Points button and go do something else for a while. Workbench will automatically run all the rows in the table and fill out all the temperature results into the table.
