gen matrix surface-surface


gen matrix surface-surface [-h] [-v] <sender_surface> <receiver_surface> \
<model files...> [options]
gen matrix surface-surface generate a matrix between two arbiturary surface[s]. This command can be used, for example, to generate a matrix describes the flux transport behavior of a tublar daylighting device.

Options

-b/--basis
Sender and receiver sampling basis (default: (kf, kf))
-f/--offset
Offset the sender and receiver surface in their normal directions (default: (0, 0))

All rtrace options are recognized as well.

Example

Generate a surface to surface matrix (e.g., for a tubular daylighting device)

gen matrix surface-surface diffuser.rad tdd_dome.rad \
    obj/materials.mat obj/room.rad
