Would it be possible to create a tutorial video to simulate a CubeSat in orbit?

  I am a part of a design team and I need to create a thermal analysis simulation for a CubeSat in orbit. I have found a lot of Ansys videos on solar panels and heat exchangers but I am not sure how to develop a good simulation for a satellite. There will be Radiation and Conduction and could be done in Ansys steady state Thermal but I am not good with the simulation on a satellite, and would be thrilled to learn more.

  It'd be Mechanical and maybe Maxwell/HFSS. As there's no fluid in the domain, well, unless you want to model the thrusters.

  Thank you very much for your help. I have looked at these videos previously and the simulation Physics setup lesson 5 as well. Lesson 5 deals with vibration on the satellite which was very helpful for our vibration analysis part. But for the thermal analysis, the situation would be different as we would have to consider radiation from the sun, irradiance from the Earth and conduction inside the satellite during the Hot phase (direct sun exposure) and Cold phase (Solar eclipse). If there was a simple video that would show just how to setup the radiation analysis in space, that would be extremely helpful. I understand the concepts that are being discussed in the videos, as I have taken a Heat Transfer course, but I am not good with setting up the simulation in Ansys yet.
  Thank you for your time!
