We study the evolution of dark matter satellites orbiting inside more massive
haloes using semi-analytical tools coupled with high-resolution N-Body
simulations. We select initial satellite sizes, masses, orbital energies, and
eccentricities as predicted by hierarchical models of structure formation. Both
the satellite and the main halo are described by a Navarro, Frenk & White
density profile with various concentrations.
