3D Printing Precision
6-Sided Box Analysis With 3D Printing Precision
- Exposure or coverage for surface tiles as small as 1mm²
- Coverage thickness for surface tiles as small as 1mm²
NOVICE therefore provides accurate distributions. It is not limited to providing average thickness across an entire surface¹
NOVICE box analysis easily extends to drive a 3D printer to print the calculated file pattern
1. Calculations limited to average thickness across a surface fail to show a) whether any given portion of the surface is exposed to space, and b) coverage thickness for any given portion of the surface.
ANYSIDEBOX ANALYSIS
Beyond the Six-Sided Box
NOVICE’s AnySideBox analysis supersedes the six-sided-box approach. The AnySideBox analysis:
- Models not only the six-sided box, but also constructs of as few as 4, or more than 6, sides
- Inserts the modeled construct into the system geometry
- Performs millions of super-fine detail ray-traces
- Records separate tables of results for each side of the construct, including:
- Hit numbers and rates from rays originating inside the construct
- Hit numbers and rates from rays originating outside the construct
- Tabulated mass distributions and mass distribution moments through quartic for multiple materials and multiple energetic particles¹
1. Tabulated mass distributions and mass distribution moments through quartic in equivalent carbon, aluminum, iron, tin, tantalum, and uranium and for electron, bremsstrahlung, and proton particles; anisotropic cases in the same run if desired, e.g., 10 to 1 flux enhancement along the -+ axes and/or user specified directions, recorded separately for both inside and outside hits
