I would like to ask you for a reference for simulating one tube of a solar collector in ANSYS. I will attach a model of the tube I'm trying to simulate. In fact I would like to do what is depicted in the following article, but I do not know how I can do it. Please, I hope you can help me.

Ok, you need to do the tutorials to reach experience with the solvers. To have a good workflow, it is needed to study at last the philosophy of CFD and how the solver works. The tutorials are a good start point with a practical appeal. IN CFD online and Youtube you will find a lot of materials about how to implement your model. I've found one to you.

What is the specific problem that you are facing in the model. I think from the document provided, it should not be a difficult task to implement it in FLUENT. Are you done with geometry and meshing part of the problem?
Yup, I've already done the geometry in solidworks, I have a problem adding the loads, I do not know where to take the heat loads out from fluent, orshould I add a thermal analysis, I will share the model:

How is your knowledge in Ansys CFX or Fluent? Have you worked before with them? That is not a big trouble to run this simulation if you have a experience with these solvers. But, the beginning is always hard.
I am a beginner in FLuent, I've usually used static structural but not fluent. I will be grateful if you could help me in my first steps.

Thanks Ricardo! I'm staring with some tutoorials of Fluent
this file has useful hints that you may need during your simulation.such as implementation non uniform solar heat flux on your boundaries and many other useful hints
