FASTRAD is a tool dedicated to the calculation of radiation effects (Dose and Displacement Damage) on electronics. The interface includes a 3D modeler with all the capabilities required for the representation of any system. Application areas include: high energy physics and nuclear experiments, medical, accelerator and space physics studies. The software is used by radiation engineers around the world. == History == This is a radiation tool dedicated to the analysis and design of radiation sensitive systems. The project was created in 1999 and has constantly been improved since. This software can be applied to any radiation related field. The radiation hardness assurance of satellite manufacturers has been continuously improved over the last decade. The optimization of space systems in terms of either mechanical design to increase the ratio power/mass or miniaturization of electronic devices tends to increase the sensitivity of those systems to the space radiation environment. In order to mitigate the impact on the radiation hardness process, the first solution is to replace the rough shielding analysis by an accurate estimate of the real radiation constraint on the system. This corresponds to the solution provided by Fastrad for the deposited dose estimate. The main goal of this software is to reduce the margins stemming from a conservative approach of estimating radiation analysis, all the while reducing the cycle time of mechanical design changes for shielding optimization. In some cases, it can be used to justify the use of non rad-hard parts and saves cost and planning for space program equipment. Its features allow use of CAD import files and/or 3D viewing and geometry construction. For space applications, this software can consider a complete satellite model from the platform structure down to the electronic components. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FASTRAD」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
