SolarPressureForce:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combined thermal and optical solar pressure force model.
Returns both the solar force and membrane temperature on each element.
The optical coefficients may be arrays or constant over all elements.
Has a built-in demo.
Since version 7.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[f, T, fT] = SolarPressureForce( area, nB, uSun, flux, optical, emissivity )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs

optical (:) Optical coefficient structure
.sigmaS (n,2) or (1,2)
.sigmaD (n,2) or (1,2)
.sigmaA (n,2) or (1,2)
emissivity (n,2) Front and back thermal emissivity, can be [1,2]
-------
Outputs
