[227] Complex Box Shielding


Create a realistic shielding model of a box inside a spaceraft for total dose and SEU estimates.

This module creates the shielding distribution at any point within a realistic box configuration. The top, bottom, and side thicknesses of the box may be varied independently. The box may have any dimensions. Spacecraft shielding is approximated by a large spherical shell enclosing the box. The shell thickness is variable.

You can use this module to explore modified shielding configurations, including adding mass to one side of a container and repositioning a part with the box.


¹ The 3d rendering of the cylinder was performed with software that is not currently available as a Space Radiation module.
