Workflow

From spacecraft geometry to radiation-analysis decisions.

NOVICE supports a practical sequence from engineering geometry through radiation transport setup, effects analysis, and trade-study review.

01

Spacecraft geometry

Import CAD and materials to establish the analysis model.

02

Radiation analysis

Simulate environments and compute material or component response.

03

Design decisions

Interpret results against shielding, placement, material, or component choices.

Capabilities

Capabilities supported by NOVICE.

  • Radiation transport methodsRay trace, Forward Monte Carlo, and Adjoint Monte Carlo methods in a unified workflow.
  • Model radiation effectsSingle-event effects including SEU, plus total ionizing dose, displacement damage, charging, and component response analyses.
  • Space environmentsTrapped, solar, and GCR environment inputs for mission-specific analysis.
