Tonatiuh++ Output Analysis

This repository provides Python tools for analyzing and visualizing the results generated by the Tonatiuh++ Monte Carlo ray-tracing software. The focus is on evaluating the distribution of reflected ray directions that intersect the input aperture of a cavity receiver.

Features

  • Binary Data Parsing: Efficiently reads Tonatiuh++ binary output files using ASCII descriptions.
  • Coordinate Transformations: Converts ray directions into a local coordinate system aligned with the aperture normal.
  • Spherical Distribution Analysis: Computes azimuth and elevation angles for reflected rays relative to the aperture.
  • Data Visualization: Plots angular distributions in 2D histograms.
