Recent developments in thermal radiation system analyzer (Trasys)
Abstract
Changes in the thermal radiation analyzer system (TRASYS) computer program are discussed. New capabilities were added while keeping intact the same data input structure. An overview of the program structure and general capabilities is given. Where appropriate, assessments are made of new features. The application of TRASYS peripheral programs and the importance they have in developing a totally integrated thermal analysis system are discussed. Form factor computations times were reduced approximately 40 percent, and the longer flux runs were reduced 50 percent when shadow tables were used.
