The ANSWERS Software Service offers a fully Integrated Geometry Visualisation and Verification Package for MCBEND, RANKERN and MONK.
VISUAL WORKSHOP
VISUAL WORKSHOP is the ANSWERS product designed to prepare and verify models, launch jobs for the MONK, MCBEND, RANKERN, and WIMS codes.
VISUAL WORKSHOP can:
- Display a wire frame image of a model’s geometry, fractal geometry (FG) bodies, scatter/reflect bodies, importance mesh and dose points.
- Display a ray traced 2D image of a model’s zones, materials or regions, holes, importance mesh, dose points, unified source, simple source, complex source, zonemat, scatter/reflect bodies, multiple definitions and undefined volumes.
- Display a ray traced 3D image of a model’s zones, materials or regions, holes, unified source, simple source, complex source, scatter/reflect bodies, multiple definitions and undefined volumes.
- View and edit the input model data using a syntax colouring editor.
- Run and monitor calculations or submit to a job queue and view output files.
Older Graphics Products
For detailed interactive viewing of two-dimensional slices of your geometry model. VISAGE produces images directly from the geometry package of MCBEND, RANKERN and MONK. It informs you of anomalies in your model such as undefined or multiple defined regions.
Features of VISAGE include zooming, panning, material identification, location identification and selectable colour mapping and cutaway.
For rapid interactive viewing of a wire-frame representation of your geometry model. VISTA-WIRE enables component location and orientation to be quickly verified and provides a convenient starting point for more detailed visualisation using the other VISTA package components.
For detailed interactive viewing of three-dimensional images of your geometry model. VISTA-RAY produces images directly from the geometry package of MCBEND, RANKERN and MONK and hence displays exactly the geometry encountered by the sampled particles.
VISTA-MOVIE generates batches of images using the what you see is what you get approach of VISTA-RAY and joins them together as an animation according to your specification.
Uses:
Checking complex model, Familiarising and assimilating someone else's model, Producing High quality images for reports & presentations, Animations and Training.
VISTA-TRACK provides visualisation of the particle trajectories in the Monte Carlo simulation of MCBEND and MONK. A selection of filters permits the selection of those tracks of interest to the analyst.
For quick interactive access and presentation of the results of the MCBEND and MONK calculations. VISTA-GRAPH enables the creation of custom output suitable for pasting into reports.
