Description

RadCAD employs an advanced, oct-tree accelerated Monte-Carlo ray tracing algorithm to calculate radiation exchange factors and view factors with remarkable speed. The enhancements introduced by C&R Technologies in the ray tracing methodology have led to the development of a highly efficient thermal radiation analysis tool. By utilizing finite difference "conics" or curved finite elements from TD Direct®, RadCAD is capable of precisely simulating diffuse and specular reflections as well as transmissive surfaces, independent of node density. The thermal solution's requirements govern the node quantity, rather than the precision needed for radiation calculations. Furthermore, RadCAD allows users to create custom databases that specify optical properties, with each surface coating detailing its absorptivity, transmissivity, reflectivity, and specularity in both solar and infrared wavelengths. These optical characteristics can be tailored to account for variations in incident angles or wavelength dependencies, enhancing the accuracy and relevance of thermal modeling. Ultimately, this level of customization ensures that RadCAD meets diverse analytical needs across various applications.

Description

Integrating Monte Carlo ray tracing, analytical methods, CAD import/export capabilities, and optimization techniques, this system employs a comprehensive macro language to tackle various challenges in illumination design and optical analysis effectively. With TracePro’s intuitive 3D CAD interface, users can build models by either importing lens design or CAD files or by directly generating solid geometries. The software leverages a true solid modeling engine to deliver reliable and consistent models for various applications. Moreover, TracePro features a swift and precise ray tracing engine that accurately traces rays to all surfaces, including imported splines, ensuring that no intersections are overlooked and preventing the occurrence of “leaky” rays. One of the standout features of TracePro is its Analysis Mode, which provides a highly interactive environment for in-depth examination. In this mode, users can evaluate every surface and object both visually and quantitatively, enhancing the overall analytical experience. This blend of capabilities makes TracePro a powerful tool for professionals in the field.
