R-Bench Description

R-Bench models how well various shapes of reflectors concentrate light from different angles. In particular this software is designed to analyze the performance of different solar trough designs for use in renewable energy production. Give R-Bench a try to see what it's all about! Main features: handles angles between 5 and 175 degrees supports catenary, parabola and semicircle reflector shapes adjustable reflector attributes (function min/max, alpha or 'steepness') recursively bounces light rays until they no longer intersect reflector both circle and line shaped 'light sinks'
