Hello everyone,
I am looking for software that can calculate the UV radiation field generated by a UV lamp installed in a room. Specifically, I need to determine the radiation intensity at different points in the room, taking into account the presence of obstacles such as furniture and people, which may block part of the radiation. I also need the software to consider wall and floor reflections and calculate both direct and reflected radiation, including shadows.
Does anyone know of any software tools that can achieve this? Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Even though I have never done this kind of a simulation before, I am pretty sure that Blender + a few extensions could help in setting up such a simulation. The 3D environment (in this case: the room) can be modelled quite easily in Blender. I did some research on a variety of softwares available and the features that they offer. Radiance seems to come out on top (not a very steep learning curve and seems to check all the boxes: shadows, material properties, reflections, etc).
So yeah Blender + Radiance could be a potential solution.
