INCA333 computes spectral effective emissivities and radiance temperatures for a cylindrical cavity with an incined flat bottom and flat annular diaphragm. INCA333 is the only blackbody emissivity modeling program allowing to model cavities of such a shape. It employs the 3C BRDF model, which allows to reproduce adequately optical characteristics for the absolute majority of materials used in design of blackbody radiators operating from UV to Far IR. Program contains the innovative algorithms for fitting parameters of the 3C model to measured in-plane BRDFs and for splitting spectral reflectance onto components of the 3C model. If experimental data are insufficient, INCA333 allows to build a priori 3C BRDF model and perform parametric study. For details, see INCA333 Key Features list, Comparative Table, or download the Manual.

INCA333 Key Features
INCA333 is based on the proprietary algorithm of the Monte Carlo ray tracing method (MCRT) implemented for the cavity with inclined bottom and adapted for the 3C BRDF model.
INCA333 has the unique utility that uses the particle swarm optimization technique for multidimensional global optimization applied to the fitting of the 3C model parameters to the measured in-plane BRDFs. Besides, INCA333 allows to extend the applicabilty of the BRDF parameters fitted for one wavelength to the spectral range in which blackbody radiation characteristics should be computed. The use of experimental data for materials and coatings of the internal surface of a blackbody radiating cavity provides the highest reliability for results of numerical modeling.
INCA333 doesn't require special efforts for installation. Download the Evaluation Version, unzip it, save INCA333 folder in the convenient place on the hard drive and run INCA333.exe. The Evaluation Version has several restrictions (see details in the appropriate Section of the Manual.) After purchasing the product license, you'll receive the activation key which will turn the Evaluation Version into the full-functioned unrestricted program. The Software Licence Agreement is included into the Manual. Go to the Purchase page to see how to buy the license.
Although INCA333 is simple to use and has user-friendly interface, such sophisticated tasks like building the 3C BRDF model and interpreting the results of Monte Carlo modeling may require special knowledge and experience. Therefore, Virial International recommends to purchase INCA333 together with the technical support subscription: subscribers can rely on the one-year unlimited support from Virial International in resolving the most complicated computational problems of blackbody radiometry and assistance in the results interpretation.
