MRADSIM: simulation of radiation effects

MRADSIM is a radiation simulation toolkit with the aim of effectively identifying potential radiation-induced problems, thereby helping to implement mitigation techniques.

Irradiation simulations

What is MRADSIM

MRADSIM is software that was initially developed within the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Perugia.
Today, MRADSIM is undoubtedly an extremely useful tool to support design and verification processes in any sector where it is necessary to simulate interactions with radiation (in the space domain, but also in the aerospace, IT, nuclear, and medical sectors).

Features and versions

Below are some features of the developed versions.

Converter

It is available in two versions: PRO and FREE.

FREE: Allows you to convert STEP files, created using geometric design applications, into GDML files. It is available for free for non-commercial purposes and is used in major research institutions worldwide, such as NASA, ESA, MIT-Boston, CERN, and universities around the globe.

PRO: This is the commercial version of the converter, containing more tools than the free version. It has various innovative features for converting and modifying all types and sizes of STEP, STL, IGS, and VRML file geometries into GDML.

MRADSIM-Dose

Designed to provide a simple and effective solution for any radiation studies needs. It includes MRADSIM-ConverterPro with all its powerful features and offers detailed analysis of the dose deposited in the devices of interest.

MRADSIM-Space

A comprehensive simulation tool that, in addition to including the BASIC tools, offers functions specific to the space sector. It supports various scenarios of orbital and interplanetary radiation, ensuring precise and detailed analyses.

The company

BEAMIDE was established in 2021 in Perugia as a spin-off of the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN), from which it obtained national approval from the INFN Tech Transfer section. The collaboration agreement between BEAMIDE and INFN is based on the project for the development of MRADSIM.
BEAMIDE is also engaged in a series of projects related to the research and development of radiation detectors, as well as providing RHA testing in accordance with ESA standards and thermo-vacuum (TVAC) testing.
