Radiator Documentation

radiator is a radiosity package.

- Options are kept in RadControl.

- A particular radiosity method inherits from RadMethod. Current methods include:

• Matrix-based radiosity (theoretical interest only!) (MatRad).
• Progressive radiosity (basic) (ProgRad).
• Progressive radiosity with substructuring (HProgRad).
• Hierarchical/wavelet radiosity (HierRad).

- Different quad/tri mesh elements (RadElem, NbRadElem, HierElem) and grids (GridBase: RadGrid, HierGrid)

- Hierarchical radiosity is controlled by

• HRLink
• HRElem
  • HRMeshElem
  • Cluster
  • M2Elem
  • M3Elem
  • F2Elem
  • F3Elem
