| Tonatiuh for Mac OS X 1.2.6 Apr 18, 2012 |
A new wizard-type plug-in that facilitates the simulation of solar tower systems. The wizard generates a heliostat field taking as input from the user: · A text file with the coordinates of the center of the bases of the heliostats that compose the heliostat field · A component Tonatiuh file describing the geometry of the heliostats (it is assumed that the geometry of all heliostats are the same). · Several new atmospheric transmittance plug-ins. · A new reflectance material plug-in, which allows the user to independently define the slope error and the reflectivity ray error of a mirror-like surface. · The possibility for the user of selecting which of the surfaces in the scene should not be taking into account during the ray tracing process. · The resolution of a bug that made the program crash when the user tries to "undo" the elimination of a One-Axis tracker. |
