<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt'>has anybody used mrt for ray tracing based view factor calculation (as
was suggested a little while ago) on any problems with many surfaces? Are there
known limits? I tried this in a zone with 24 surfaces (see attached files, if
interested). Mrt does not seem to be able to cope with this based on default
settings for compile (I set the two parameters “grid division” and “patch
division” to maximum values – in this case 32 and 50). The results
are mainly zeroes … for the zone view factors themselves and for the MRT
sensor.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt'>Is there any experience on this out there? What / where would one need
to change settings in the headers and recompile for higher resolution? Has that
been done / checked in the past? Thanks!</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
