I have had occasion to model that type of device using TRNSYS.
Tracking solar collectors (whether PV or thermal) are easy examples. Some
years ago, I modelled a device that sits on top of horizontally mounted
skylight, tracks the sun and tries to bounce more daylight down the
skylight well. There is nothing stopping you, however, from having
whatever component of the building (all the way down to the walls and
roofs) track the sun.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of any buildings for which the performance of
sun-tracking movable devices was evaluated using simulation programs?
Does anyone have experience of having done such an analysis? What I would
especially like to know is how to model a dynamic geometry in a
simulation program.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
