Description Computes the Energy Density using an analysis surface and returns the results to an ARN. Depending on the number of rays traced, it may be necessary to dimension ray index and ray counter variables as data type Huge_ instead of Long. Please see Multi-threaded Raytracing for more information.
Syntax numRays = EnergyDensityToARN( anaNode, arnName, arnNode )
Parameters numRays (Long or Huge_) Number of rays included in the analysis.
anaNode As Long Node number of the analysis surface to be used in the analysis. The analysis surface's ray filters are applied.
arnName As String Name of the ARN being created.
arnNode As Long Node number of the newly created ARN. Returned by the function.
Remarks The following example performs an energy density calculation on an existing rayset.
Dim anaNode As Long Dim arnNode As Long Dim numRays As Long
anaNode = FindFullName( "Analysis Surface(s).Analysis 1" ) numRays = EnergyDensityToARN( anaNode, "Example ARN", arnNode )
