any thoughts about simulating solar radiation/shading from Finite Element Method?

I want to simulate the building thermal response in a day's environment including solar radiation, outside air convection and inside air convection and radiation from Finite Element Software like Abaqus. It is really hard to realize the movable solar radiation and shades. Do you guys have any thoughts on that? And what about the theory behind solar radiation and shading from EnergyPlus which may be useful for me to understand the way of realizing in FEM? Thanks
