Using TCR within I-Simpa¶
TCR is already embedded in I-Simpa. Follow the next instructions to run a calculation with the TCR code in I-Simpa.
Double left click on the TCR calculation code in I-Simpa to display all calculation parameters:

Meshing¶
Some calculation codes may require a meshing of the domain (SPPS for example). I-Simpa used the TetGen meshing code (A Quality Tetrahedral Mesh Generator and a 3D Delaunay Triangulator). See the documentation for more information.
Within I-Simpa, TetGen can be paramatrized:
- “Test mesh topology”
Check/uncheck for activate the debug mode of TetGen (debug mode).
Avertissement
With the debug mode, the meshing is not realized.
- “Additional parameters”
Add parameters to the TetGen default parameters.
- “Radius/Edge ratio”
Defines the ratio between the radius of the sphere that would contain a mesh and the lenght of the mesh. This parameter could be useful in order to avoid long meshes.
- “Scene correction before meshing”
Check/uncheck for trying to repair the 3D scene if possible.
- “User-defined paramters”
Defines new parameters by replacing default parameters.
- “Surface receiver constraint”.
Check/uncheck for using a given value of the mesh surface “Surface receiver constraint (m²)”.
- “Surface receiver constraint (m²)”
Maximun accepted value of the mesh surface (m²) for a surface receiver. The value can be modified only if the “Surface receiver constraint” parameter is checked.
- “Volume constraint”
Check/uncheck for using a given maximum value of the mesh volume “Volume constraint (m3)”.
- “Volume constraint (m3)”
Maximun accepted value of a mesh volume (m3). The value can be modified only if the “Volume constraint” parameter is checked.
TCR Calculation parameters¶
- “Active calculation of atmospheric absorption”
Enables calculation of atmospheric absorption.
- “Export surface receivers for each frequency band”
Check to export the surface receiver results, for each frequency band. If uncheck, only the global value is exported.
