Artura
Artura
Artura is a new, innovative, continuously evolving product that solves a problem that all system integrators, project managers, and system designers know very well. To engineer, design and propose technical systems (AV, IT, Security, Lightning, etc.), different people work with various tools that are often not designed to do what you want to do, resulting in time-consuming and repeating tasks, no central overview, and an inefficient documentation flow. As a result, there is no single source of truth where modifications in design and scope are united while the project is full of operational inefficiencies. Artura solves that. It is a collaborative design, engineering, and proposal-generating tool for AV, IT, and Security system integration companies in commercial, residential, and maritime space. Artura is an online, modern, and easy-to-use web application for system design, engineering, and creating proposals. For your team, your client, and other stakeholders. -

RadCAD
C&R Technologies
An ultra-fast, oct-tree accelerated Monte-Carlo ray tracing algorithm is used by RadCAD to compute radiation exchange factors and view factors. Innovations by C&R Technologies to the ray tracing process have resulted in an extremely efficient thermal radiation software tool. Using finite difference "conics" (simple geometric objects) or curved finite elements from TD Direct®, RadCAD can accurately model diffuse or specular reflections and transmissive surfaces regardless of node density. The needs of the thermal solution dictate the number of nodes, not the accuracy requirements of the radiation. RadCAD makes use of user-defined databases of optical properties. Each surface coating defines absorptivity, transmissivity, and reflectivity along with specularity in both the solar and infrared wavelength regimes. These properties can be defined versus incident angle or even with wavelength dependence. -
