Description

Frost 3D software enables users to create scientific models that accurately represent the thermal behavior of permafrost influenced by various structures such as pipelines, production wells, and hydraulic facilities, while also considering the thermal stabilization of the soil. This software suite is built upon a decade of expertise in programming, computational geometry, numerical methods, 3D visualization, and the optimization of computational algorithms through parallel processing. It allows for the construction of a 3D computational domain that accurately reflects surface topography and soil composition; facilitates the 3D modeling of pipelines, boreholes, and the foundations of structures; and supports the importation of various 3D object formats like Wavefront (OBJ), StereoLitho (STL), 3D Studio Max (3DS), and Frost 3D Objects (F3O). Additionally, it includes a comprehensive library of thermophysical properties related to soil, building components, climatic influences, and cooling unit specifications, along with the capability to define the thermal and hydrological characteristics of 3D objects and the heat transfer properties on their surfaces. The software thus represents a sophisticated tool for engineers and scientists working in fields related to permafrost and thermal dynamics.

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.
