I am not sure if this is the right group to post this to but I'll
just take a chance.
This request is posted for a colleague here at the TNO Institute for
Building and Construction Research.
After reading the article
Chin, J.H., T.D. Panczak, L. Fried,
"Finite Element and RayTracing in coupled Thermal Problems"
Lockheed Missiles and Space Co.
he now would like to know if anyone has got any experience in the use of
raytracing (the Monte Carlo raytracing procedure in particular) in combination
with a finite element approach in order to perform thermal analysis for
complex systems.
This described approach should "..permit the solution of the thermal
analytical problem in a consistent manner, wherein the generally nonisothermal
character of a system is modeled more closely than in the traditional
procedures".
- Can anyone supply him with additional information about this technique ?
- Has anyone got a reference to a description where this raytracing technique
is explained in more detail ?
- Is there some implementation of this technique available ?

P.S. : Please reply via email.
