STEEP321 is the program for Monte Carlo calculations of radiation characteristics of axisymmetric blackbodies. STEEP321 uses the Uniform Specular-Diffuse (USD) model of reflection. This is a simple but powerful blackbody modeling tool allowing to calculate entire spectral effective emissivity curve at one run, to model isothermal and nonisothermal cavities, to change incrementally parameters of viewing conditions, to take into account background radiation,  and many more. For details, see STEEP321 Key Features list, Comparative Table, or download the Manual.

STEEP321
STEEP321 is the "wheelhorse" of STEEP3 family. The Uniform Specular-Diffuse (USD) model of reflection provides accuracy more than sufficient for most practical applications. At the same time, due to simplicity of the USD model, results obtained with STEEP321 are easy to undestand and interpret. Simultaneous calculation for up to 8 temperature distributions gives the possibility to evaluate temperature non-uniformity effects quickly.
