Surface Charging Automatic Workflow

This brief tutorial will guide the user through an introductory, automated workflow that demonstrates the efficient method used to simulate the surface charging behavior of a satellite subjected to a GEO plasma environment. The user will import a CAD model, and upon initiating the workflow, the user will see the assignment of plasma environments, solar illumination, mesh, and the execution of the simulation in moments. This workflow can be used to give new users a rapid introduction to the basics of running a surface charging simulation and it can be used for any number of satellite geometries.
