An overview of last decade’s developments in RayXpert

This article provides an overview of the developments made over the last 10 years within RayXpert®, a CAD-based geometry 3D Monte Carlo software developed by TRAD – Tests & Radiations. The main features of RayXpert® are its 3D Monte Carlo engine and its CAD-based geometry. It is also possible to import STEP file, automatically detect overlaps, and perform parallel Monte Carlo computations. During the last 10 years, numerous new features were added to the software: TTB approximation, dose and flux mapping, computation resumption, radioactive decay computation, script support, MPI computation, advanced convergence indicators, etc. New features such as advanced biasing or neutron-induced activation simulation are under development. This article presents the past and future functionalities of RayXpert®.

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the developments made over the last 10 years within RayXpert®, a CAD-based geometry 3D Monte Carlo software developed by TRAD – Tests & Radiations. The main features of RayXpert® are its 3D Monte Carlo engine and its CAD-based geometry. It is also possible to import STEP file, automatically detect overlaps, and perform parallel Monte Carlo computations. During the last 10 years, numerous new features were added to the software: TTB approximation, dose and flux mapping, computation resumption, radioactive decay computation, script support, MPI computation, advanced convergence indicators, etc. New features such as advanced biasing or neutron-induced activation simulation are under development. This article presents the past and future functionalities of RayXpert®.
